wrinkle

so...the buyers for my current apt have great financials and everything seemed to be working out nicely. their co-op board interview is tonight, which is the final piece before we can set a closing date.

my broker called me this morning saying that we have a "wrinkle" and that the buyers were hedging on the apt because they didn't like the subletting policy (which they had ample time to read and consider from the get-go, and which can also be looped around as well). like seriously guys, you had all these documents, this is what your lawyer is for. this is way late in the game.

they've already signed the contract and put a deposit down, so it's legally binding - but there is a possibility that they can deliberately throw the interview tonight in the hopes of getting rejected by the board (thereby nullifying the contract).

my board is really nice/lenient, plus my buyers are a gay couple (i mean, no one ever turns down gay couples, for fear that they'll sue for discrimination), so they'd have to do something egregious to not get approved - but we're getting nervous that the sale won't go through.

but seriously?? i'm so exhausted from all the mental logistics of the moving and contracts that i can't even begin to make contingency plans. i started thinking about the worst case scenarios and the feasibility of carrying 2 mortgages and how much time i'd have to sell if we had to put it back on the market...etc etc etc.

the fact that i'm paying rent at unnee's while still carrying my mortgage, and what would happen if it fell through. would i ever get another buyer who offered the same price. all these months of time lost.

what is going on??

but in the middle of the stress, the song running through my head was "you alone"

you alone
can cover me;
jesus, savior
all i need;
you, my holy one,
my holy king

maybe this fast was good for something after all...

praying that everything sorts itself out...
