Closing Time

Nothing with this house purchase has been easy as we documented last month. Despite having all of our paperwork turned in a couple weeks ago, we've been dealing with a couple tricky conditions. My personal favorite was figuring out how to process the title for a home that:

1) Is currently owned by Bank of America, who ...

2) ... made U.S. Bank the trustee of the property, who ...

3) ... assigned Power of Attorney to Wells Fargo.

Suddenly I understand why we had a housing crisis and why banks aren't trusted! 

So while Ashley and I have been nervously awaiting these loose ends to be tied, we were getting subtle warnings from our lender that the closing just might be delayed. And based on the trials and tribulations of the last 90 days, why wouldn't it!?! 

However, we finally received the email we've been eagerly waiting for and we're FINALLY good to go! Wish us luck tomorrow, because it's closing time!
