I didn’t mind the bedroom at all b/c I’m only 5’8 so my head was perfectly clear anyways… lol. I’m also barely in the bedroom, and the living room had a ton of room (which is where I would spend most of the time when in the house).

Because she did nothing illegal I cannot file anything against her. I could go after the seller in small claims for the $1200 I’m out, but I would end up paying the court fees out of pocket, and even though it would be almost a guarenteed win, the only income he has is from his social security since he can’t work and didn’t have insurance. So by the time the state took their money for back taxes, and the wife got her child support, I would never see a dime from him… so I would just end up spending even more money on the court fees and would never see anything from it. So I’m pretty much stuck in a corner.

I don’t really want anything under 1k sqft. We’re looking more in the 1000-2000 area. We’ve found quite a few, but there’s always one thing that one of us doesn’t like so we don’t pursue it. Since I have to get re-pre-approved, I’m going to try to get approved for a little more and then I’ll have a little more room to work with.

I’ll check them out. Thanks.

Got word from my attorney last night and it doesn’t look like the wife is going to budge so unless something changes today, I’ll be signing the contract release and starting this shit all over again from the beginning. I wish I could find out where she lived so I could go to her house, knock on her door, and just simply say “Now you get NOTHING!!!”, then turn around a walk away. I think that would just be plain awesome…
