    I made a roast last night, so used the leftovers to make vegetable beef soup in the crockpot, with fried cornbread. It turned out pretty good. It has really been chilly here the last few days and it hit the spot!

    Does anyone have any personal experiences with short sales (good and bad)

    Thanks Franny! I was really shocked when my husband told me about it yesterday. I thought he was joking when he first told me. I was expecting not to hear anything until mid Nov. and then I wasn't sure if it would happen then. I am so thankful we didn't have to wait forever to find out!

    Does anyone have any personal experiences with short sales (good and bad)

    Yes, but not far off of the asking price. Actually pretty close. Does anyone know how we find out if the home we are trying to purchase that is being sold as a short sale actually qualifies as a short sale? If so, how soon can we find out? Or will we not even know that until the bank says yes...

    Does anyone have any personal experiences with short sales (good and bad)

    Thanks everyone. I did ask my realtor what bank would be negotating with and he said Citibank. He said he thought there was only one bank involved. I am going to try to be patient with this. We really do want the property, but I am not sure how willing my husband or I will be able to wait. I...
