My home buying nightmare continues [View All]

The settlement did not come to past, my worse nightmare. Imagine a bunch of realtors talking to the settlement attorney in a closed room. I'm like a fool sitting in the lobby wondering what is going on. After an hour they come out and my realtor has the biggest shit eating grin on his face, it was frightening. They said because the seller's bancrupcy judge didn't initial off on the right amount for the assessment the sale couldn't go through.

The difference? $900. I said ok I don't like this but I'll just write you a check for the $900. They said that wouldn't work. Settlement laws in Virginia are very strict.

Now everyone is pointing fingers at each other trying to lay the blame for why the sale didn't go off. I'm sitting here in an apartment full of boxes as I was half packed and ready to go, gave notice to my apartment complex that I'd be moving and everything.

Now the settlement has been rescheduled for Tuesday but I talked with the bancrupcy lawyer myself and he said there is no way he can schedule a hearing and have everything done by Tuesday. There is a disconnect. I'm the only one who talked to him, by the way. The rest of them couldn't google the firm and figure out what the guy's phone number was.

So I'm wondering if I should just back out and stay a renter? What do you think?
