My dad arranged to buy a house in Cheyenne, WY. He did it long distance - my sister lives in Cheyenne and she scoped out houses and talked with the realtor, etc. My dad decided on one, and we've had such a hassle getting the loan. I won't go into that, except to say that the process of buying a house, even when you have the money to buy it flat out, is just a pain.
But, the closing on the house was supposed to take place on Oct 8. And the people from whom we've bought the house have known that we've bought the house and were expecting to move in on Oct 8.
So you'd think that they would have had all their furniture and other stuff out of the house at least a week ago.
But, not so.... they are still moving out.
That may not necessarily be stupid as just inconsiderate....but, no...really, it's stupid as well. Unless they needed the downpayment money that wouldn't be delivered until the 8th to fund their move, I suppose....
Nevertheless, it's annoying, as my Dad showed up on Oct 8 with a truck full of our household goods from VA, and he can't start unpacking them yet. And each day he has to keep that truck is costing him money.
So I'm hoping he'll be able to deduct the daily cost of keeping that truck from his payment to the original house owners, because it's their fault that he's paying extra money each day.
