Do real estate deals count as the seventh or the eighth circle of hell?

[jdbl]

We found out today that, despite our having done everything that we were supposed to do, well in advance of when we were supposed to do it, our work permit renewals may or may not be done in time for the house closing. If they're not, we're not sure at this point what happens, but it isn't likely to be good. Best case scenario is that we might be able to bump the closing back a bit until the permits arrive. Worst, the deal falls apart, we lose our grand deposit, and we have to start over with the house hunting. This is causing a lot of stress in the household, as you can imagine. We're still legal to work, there are no problems there, but we don't think the bank will put the mortgage through without work permits that are good for an extended period of time.

Your optimistic thoughts/prayers/vegetable sacrifices are appreciated.

I dont' have any veggies. Can I sacrifice some strawberries to the work permit gods instead?

Seriously, I'll cross my fingers. That sucks.

The real estate Gods Demand Sacrifice!

No house deal goes through without pain, suffering, delays, screaming, tears and threats.

Do you have and ulcer yet?

Sorry, bitterness from my own house purchase. It will all work out. You will be fine. These are just birthing pains for your bouncing new home.

Breathe.
