You ...Yeah, well, you can't get away with this. You are not going to believe this, GYC.<br /><br />We got this listing, nice house, good location, $230,000. Pending contract, proceeding to closing next week, then I get this phone call from the mortgage broker. (I thought all these idiots went out of business years ago.) The lender had pulled funding.<br /><br />Apparently, this stupid buyer had not paid his taxes for 2010. Like someone is not going to notice. This more than stupid mortgage broker asked me if she could get a letter from the IRS granting him a waiver so he could buy the house. Uh, no.<br /><br />I told her, look, the IRS does not grant waivers. If it comes down to buying the house or paying the IRS, he's going to pay the IRS, with penalties plus interest.<br /><br />But, but, she started to argue with me, but then he won't have enough money to cover the down payment and closing costs. I look upon that as not my problem. This house is going to sell. The only reason why it hasn't sold already is because your tax delinquent buyer has had it off the market for the last month, while wasting the time and money of everyone involved.<br /><br />Unfreakingbelievable.GawainsGhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719480047404817864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-68724990594058397212011-05-21T00:12:01.999-04:002011-05-21T00:12:01.999-04:00Doo, dah, DIPPITY! :) Ah, Black Sheep . . . it bri...Doo, dah, DIPPITY! :) Ah, Black Sheep . . . it brings me back!<br /><br />And -- AHH! That's always been one of my FAVORITEST of scenes out of any Highlander episode. You sure know how to pick 'em, sir! So much heartbreaking pathos. I just love the look on Amanda's face when Methos lays it all out for her. Believe it or not, I know this enitre exchange by heart. I recite it out loud occasionally for no reason -- much to the suffering of the missus.<br /><br />And, hey, thanks for plugging the story! :)David Batistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447011239238933425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207581886255094115.post-36638771853927024092011-05-20T21:59:02.662-04:002011-05-20T21:59:02.662-04:00Watchtower,
