I knew it was too good to be true. We almost got through the whole thing without any trouble. Then my lawyer called this morning.
You see I was waiting for something bad to happen and it was causing me a ton of stress and anxiety. Once the papers were all signed and money had changed hands I thought we were free and clear.
Well I was wrong. It seems that the previous owners were great at paying bills. So great that they paid too far ahead on the property taxes for the year. So now I owe them that money before I can get the key.
Now while this does not sound all that bad, I had already made arrangements through the bank to pay my taxes for me. So I do not have the extra $600 sitting around. I just gave them more than $18000 two days ago!
Anyway, I do get paid tomorrow so I can cover it. We just might have to buy the first months groceries on credit cards now

Well, if that is the worse thing that happens to you when buying your house you are lucky. Don’t have to sweat this.
