I recently got a house and after, going over and over and over it all, they tried to change everything at the last
minute, I threw a fit and walked out, 'cause I'm an ass that way. even though the DAY we were closing was the
day my lease at the apartment ran out. They relented on several points but I still got jipped for about 500 extra
in closing and the final price ended up 5k more. Between realtors, the mortgage brokers, and the good ol boy
system here, it was hard. The market where I am at is as dead as dead can be so I was 99.9% positive I could threaten to walk out on the deal and make them back off on most of it. Had they known that I needed the place more than they needed to sell it..... *groan* Were it not for the lady of the house I'd have chosen a cardboard box over the deal they tried to foist off on me though. Then the tax guys came in and suddenly my house is worth get this 60% more YES 60 friggin percent. (it was a cheap house so it's not as bad as that might sound dollare wise but an increase of that friggin much in taxes? WTF?!?!?! I should look to see if anyone involved in the sale is in a position to be embezzling from the county eh? I'm fighting the tax thing, but Daaaaaamn. They wonder why no one is buying here, when the few people who try to buy get ass raped. I'm getting all mad thinking about it. I usually avoid the OT board for just this reason. *rofl* They HAD to go change everything so I HAD to look. Grrrr. :)
