Thread: This'll be my NEW view WOOHOO

They about finished me off yesterday. They asked how much money I was bringing to closing. HUHHH? I have 60 grand in equity in the house I'm in now and the new house appraised for 30 grand more than I'm paying for it. This was after the "you have to pay a years worth of home insurance UPFRONT" which was around $900. We won't even talk about the $450 Appraisel and $300 Home Inspection I just put out. Who do they think I am WB or something? lol

Who did you think was going to pay the insurance premium? They may want some property tax escrow money too.
All you need now, to make your week complete, is to have some goober price you a $400 survey for about $2,500.

All of those charges are pretty much standard stuff DD. If you have a loan, the banks gonna make sure you have insurance to cover their butts. You've got to expect some out of pocket expenses when making such a purchase. Congrats on the new house!

If your going to dance.....you got to pay the fiddler lol

I was expecting the insurance to be added to my monthly note, not a whole year upfront. No survey is required and if it was, I can do it for free. We only charge $300 for a lot and block subdivision survey anyhow. Surveys aren't cheap to do. $100 an hour for a crew and $85 an hour for a registered surveyor.

That's awesome Don. Now your wife won't have so much grass to cut!

LOL, It's almost an acre. Front yards HUGE

put goats in the yard then in the fall you BBQ them
