Having just gone through it, don’t buy anything else until your home sells. Risky buyers are out there so be prepared for “hoops”. One thing I would have done differently is that I would have written the escrow so that I had a longer time to move out after escrow closes. If you do that, you won’t have to commit yourself until you know it is going, going, gone! That was one of the scary things for me. I signed a lease on another piece 10 days before escrow was to close, had my stuff packed up and ready to go and the day it was to close it almost fell through but I guess the lender got tired of the whole thing and let the loan fund.
I was freaking out when I thought I’d have to continue to make my mortgage payment and a rent payment . . . so, I understand the fear of all those “flippers” out there I guess.
