Good luck, Stephanie! I'm sure that all that hard work and studying is going to pay off.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh, bless you. Water water water, pet. And neurofen, if you have any, or, er, what's the good US headache pill? Damn. Anyway, yeah - water water water, headache pills, and sleep. And good luck.
You make the most of your hitting on people opportunities. University/College REALLY isn't just about getting an education. Or even mostly about that. imho. er.
You know, before I clicked the link, I went to a totally different place with what you were going to do with Oreos and whipped cream.
Huh. Perkins is me! Except, y'know, slimmer. And better paid. Otherwise? Me.

Well, this is my third large tumbler of water since the original request for help. Hopefully it will help.
Fay is wise. Take asprin with those big tumblers of water. Or other headache stuff, anything but Tylenol.
In the morning, sweet tea is a miracle cure.

Good luck on the house, Susan!

Yay, Nora! The actual process of homebuying is always excruciating.
Good luck with the house, Susan. I know you were hoping you could buy it.
Poor Anne and Anne's mom with the packing. I hate packing. At least it looks like the end is in sight.

I must work today. Send someone with whips and chains. If they don't use them to make me work, at least I might have some fun.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Congratulations, Nora!
And congratulations for the opportunity you were hoping for, Susan. House~ma so that you can take qdvantage of it.

Congrats on the householding, Nora! And house~ma to Susan and her DH!
And Jilli, my job hunting's turning up some stuff in the Seattle area. So if you can't convince one Buffisa to move out there, you may have backups for the rather nifty sounding fella.

What is even happening?
Very good news. Get some inspections so you will have written facts.What Laura said. Also, assuming you're going to do this transaction without a broker to help him net more profit from the sale, get yourselves a good lawyer (apart from the lawyer you'll have to pay for, for your mortgage lender). It might kill you to lay out the cash, but your guy is probably in big ass financial trouble, Susan. He pays no attention to his rent you pay. He doesn't pay bills he should be paying. That's what I know, from your surface conversations, here. It's probably not the half of it.
You want to make sure you don't inherit any of his mess, when you buy the house. Also? He's gone through a divorce recently, right? You want your asses covered from every angle.
This post is not offered in the spirit of pessimism. I think you should go for it, provided you can afford it, and the house inspection (pay more for a good one) proves the structure is sound enough to make it worth your while. I just want you to protect yourself.
