I'm going to buy a house, I could use some help!

Yeah, I was really lucky on my short sale, bank came back with an acceptance within a month. I think that's because they lost two previous buyers by waiting too long. One thing to make sure of is that the house doesn't have a second mortgage, or if it does that it is cleared. The bank holding the second came back the day before closing demanding an extra couple grand when I thought everything was kosher. It was split between me and the buyer, with my agent paying some of mine, and it was such a good deal it wasn't worth stopping because of it, but make sure for you that your realestate agent has all the bases covered.
