Week 11 - Mortgage drama

Well, we have been back and forth with NVR to re-establish the amount we said we were going to put down after closing costs as a mistake happened on their end.  *Do note,* closing costs were a lot more than we had expected, so I definitely recommend having a conversation around what to expect.  Anyhow, the rep at NVR made a mistake in the final figure we were putting down in the most recent paperwork (it was much lower than we were putting down, of course making our monthly mortgage much higher, and there was $3,000 that just 'popped up' in additional line items), so we had to get that updated, which was just an annoyance, nothing serious...but another reminder to always read through every line before you sign!!!

 The PM said he changed the locks on the house so nobody could get in, including us!  We have our final walk-through next week, and officially move in 9 days from the date of this post!  Surely the work will continue, and we are prepared to learn even more about our house!

    It pays to temper your expectations as far as costs are concerned. It’s good that you were able to close that deal and get the house. At the same time, stuff like closing costs can be much bigger than you expect, so people should file their tax form preparations properly.
