Good morning
Work all day planned here with some errands to run as well so I'll be in and out all day.
<rant>
Wife and I are trying to buy a cottage/house. It's 3 season on the river. 3 season meaning it's not winterized and not lived in right now, not lived in being key here! We plan to winterize it by adding a foundation and floor insulation and we'll do some interior renovations as well. The fucking owner is being a DICK. We wanted to close in April, he wants it near the end of May as he's an accountant and tax season is too busy for him to "clean the house/property out".
- keep in mind the house if NOT lived in
- there is ZERO on the property and inside there is a table, sofa and chair, 1 bed, 1 nightstand and 1 dresser. Other bedrooms are totally empty
-He countered with a price and close May 31. We countered agreeing to his price but bumping close up to May 21 (house is not lived in)
- we explained that I am in Europe May 27 - June 6 and we MUST close before I go away because we want to get the foundation work started so we can move in before July 1st
- he FUCKING re-counters with a June 6th closing
Agent calls me last night to say he's over whelmed and insists he needs time to remove everything from the property and June 6th is the earliest closing for him. REMOVE EVERYTHING? It's 1 FUCKING Uhaul, a Small Uhaul at that!! Plus he's not living there right now, he could go empty it tomorrow, or next week or next month or anytime in April!
Looks like we're going to walk away, June 6 is a deal breaker. We have 4-7 weeks or work we estimate, the foundation is 2 minimum and we don't want to move in fucking August for a house on the river, we'd miss most of the summer
