Many of you have heard our Lubbock "house woes" tale. After two consecutive loser renters and the boob of a property manager, we decided to get out of that business. Hubby spent numerous weekends in Lubbock, since early January, renovating and repairing our house. It saddened me to see the damage done to the first house we lived in, but he did an amazing job getting it in prime condition.
Last Thursday morning, I faxed paperwork to the realtor to put it on the market. Hubby just called and we have a contract

Great news - hope it closes quick and easy
Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

Re: Omg!!!!!
That is good news for you because you can deduct every penny you spend to close that house on your taxes next filing period. If they paid the closing cost you can't deduct anything. I learned that last year when my wife & I did the same thing in 2003. FYI - in case you didn't know that.Originally posted by LH Panther Mom
contract , the prospective buyers are pre-approved and are offering more than our asking price if we will pay the closing costs.

I'm trying not to get too excited. They have chosen the 7-day option to bow out, but that's pretty standard.Originally posted by Bandera YaYa

Okay, everyone can finally take a breath. I hope no one passed out the last couple of weeks. Closing papers arrived today for our sigs; buyer closing is tomorrow.
Many thanks to those of you who had to listen to me over the months.
