Somehow, I think you should put a "To Be Continued" addendum to this thread!
Still too many "Ifs","Buts", and "Whens" to make me feel secure in your situation.
"MT", do you know that it's "OK" to put all your thoughts in one post, and not post each thought in it's own "POST"????????
Also, by offering "More Money" than the asking price, for everything, you are just "Muddying The Waters" for all of us.
The way it SHOULD be done here, is to fake a heart attack when you hear the asking price, and work down from there!
"Over Tipping" is another practice to be avoided.
I find that most "Over Payers", and "Over Tippers" here, are just trying to be "Liked" by paying too much.
That said, I hope your new place works out for your best!
Good Luck, and may I suggest a "Pot Luck Supper" for your "DR1 House Warming"?????
If you invite me, I'll bring something to eat that you will NEVER FORGET!!!
"FOOD", I mean, to stop all the speculation!
You can post a "LIST" here of things you would like for your apt, and see what turns up.
Do you need an "X-Esposa" by any chance???
