well let me be the first to say WELCOME.

we have a great collection of people specifically on THAT STREET 

Inspection went as expected.

Now on the the ever so efficient process of buying a house from the government.

Hope to see you in a month or so.

I hope so.

This house is a HUD case, and apparently they are overrun with properties.

My agent said that the last HUD house they did took 90 days, but this one seems to be going more smoothly so far.

We shall see.....

It was a foreclosure.  Being a HUD case, that means it was a foreclosure on an FHA loan.  We did bid on the house, through our agent.  After our bid was accepted, it works much the same as a conventional closing, except some of the paperwork is different.  Many more signatures on redundant and silly forms.  And they go all over the place.  Some to Florida, some to Addison, some elsewhere.  Makes a realtor earn their money.

FordDr's wife here.  Thanks for the warm welcome!  We are still in-process.  No closing date yet.  Lots of inspections/appraisals/etc done.  We are ready to move in, but I think it might be a little bit yet. 

Ok, looks like we're closing next Wednesday.  Paint and appliances first, then we'll move in.  See y'all next week.

Ok, we own it!  I'll be up there in a bit to change locks and such. Y'all stop by!
