who knows? After the people who bought our place in NJ refused to close until after we moved out in case we trashed the place, nothing would surprise me. mary ----- Original Message ----- From: STILLFRANKSFAULT@xxxxxxx To: elky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; GPOVin@xxxxxxx ; tedkoller@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ; martford@xxxxxxx ; joegee59@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 16, 2009 12:42 PM Subject: [elky] update House update: Our buyer tells me he was getting jerked around by his mortgage bank, soooo .............. he pulled out and went to another bank. He is qualified so I don't know his reasoning. We just lost 4-5 weeks, now I'm glad we don't have a home to move to yet. I think he is taking a big gamble because he has to close by Nov. 30 to get 8,000.oo first time buyer tax break. I'm wondering what his strategy might be? I didn't see this coming. I can only think he's lying and could not secure a mortgage. Thoughts? -Staten Island Frank-
