Aside from that you go into escrow and the bank refuses to work with u (happened to me and cancelled) Paying the damn inspector to 200 bux each time u enter escrow so he can check out the house was a pain, and damn banks not even replying when i put in offers. I must've put in 20 or so offers before i got this house. I'm glad the first bank was lagging itwhen i entered escrow the first time because taht house was a few thousand cheaper then this one but was way smaller and needed lots of work.
