I HATE BUYING A HOME!!!

So we closed on our home on Monday and when we did they asked us to sign all the documents with our full names, including our middle names. We did so and then waited for everything to be final so we could then clean up the home and move in. But then yesterday we learned that our lending company had set up all their documents with just our first and last names but not the middle names. Since we signed with our middle names, they would not accept those documents.

Furious beyond words, we found ourselves stuck in the middle of a blame fest as the title company and our lender spent half of the day blaming each other for the error, instead of working on the solution. Thankfully our Realtor was able to get both of them to stop blaming and start working on fixing the issue. Now we are told that we can re-sign today and then if the planets align just right. We will have possession of our new home on Friday.

If we are fortunate to get possession of our home on Friday, we will then start the painters on Saturday, carpet on Tuesday and then moving in on Wednesday.

I cannot believe all the problems we have experienced with buying any home. When we bought our first home we had to go close 3 times before they finally got it right. Why are we always the ones to get the horror experiences with buying homes. When we get done with this home purchase, I will not be doing this again for at least 20 years. (I hope)
