We looked at this property that we liked that was a bit above our price range but, after two very stressful weeks of negotiating, the price is square in our budget again. It needs some work and we're ok with that, but we're having an inspector look the place over to make sure that there are no major structural issues.
What's next, based on us feeling a bit uneasy with the real estate agency we're using? Not that they've done anything wrong (other than trying to force us to put in an offer $20,000 more than we wanted to, but we didn't back down) - they're just fast talkers and we want to dot the i's and cross the ts properly.
Steps we're doing now:
1- Financing: pre-approval completed, FHA loan FTW!
2- Inspector will be inspecting the house early next week
3- We've secured a lawyer through a family friend, and will be meeting with him asap before we sign anything/pay a binder
Anything else need to be done?
Thanks!
