Decision

I put an offer in on a condo today!! I asked a little below the asking price and wanted the seller to pay closing costs. I should hear back by Monday on whether or not they accept it. I must say that was the most nerve racking thing I have EVER done. Committing to spend the most money I have ever spent was a little intimidating. I had to sign all kinds of documents and forms and initial and date EVERY page. It took about a half hour to complete the paperwork. I did ask for a home warrenty paid for by the seller and I hope to get that. It covers most big ticket items for a whole year.
My next steps are to wait to see if they accept, reject, or counter offer. Then I'll get an inspector in and read over the HAO documentation. If I agree to everything then I'll keep going. I could own this place in a month!
I'm really excited and my stomach is still in knots so I hope everything goes well. I did speak to my landlord so he is in the loop. I wanted to give him a heads up and tell him my current plans.
Now I just need to breathe and wait.
Here are some pictures that I took off another website. I didn't take them.
