Bought in '08 for what i thought was a great deal, recession hit, FHA regulations changed, and now we're trying to sell but losing money because someone is going to have to buy an unwarrantable condo due to developer issues. It's awful. I too pushed for this condo and now feel like I'm pushing to buy a house and...yeah. I feel ya. It will end. You can always assign money in escrow to pay for the special assessment for the project. 2dognitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247158356810025811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-6153990865919233372016-06-13T07:59:05.129-07:002016-06-13T07:59:05.129-07:00Boy, do I admire your getting in there and learnin...Boy, do I admire your getting in there and learning what is necessary to plan the coup.<br /><br />How is it going?

We have been living in house hell for months, it seems, and the anxiety broke me today. I know that I acted like a crazy woman, and I couldn't do a thing to stop it. Too much has been out of my control. I'm glad that you are reaching out to get help, and taking things one step at a time ... though the path is uncertain, you're not alone.Justine Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190295175501659469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-14076431713281480092016-06-08T05:35:08.068-07:002016-06-08T05:35:08.068-07:00I'm so sorry this has happened and caused the ...I'm so sorry this has happened and caused the selling process to suddenly become enormously more stressful.

Is this a project that absolutely will get done soon or is the board still assessing time frames? Because if it is all about the special assessment, you could be upfront about the project to potential buyers and offer to pay some of the price of the special assessment.Non Sequitur Chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268138421234170972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-42319328512378621042016-06-03T14:05:33.979-07:002016-06-03T14:05:33.979-07:00Oh, no.

I don't fully understand it, but having a bid fall through and then having your property turn toxic to buyers is terrible. I'm so sorry it has ripple effects with you and Grey, but echo what you said -- how could you know that the recession would hit and the condo would be a part of you for so long? I hope that it gets resolved positively. And I agree, the messy stuff definitely shows you what you're made of, and shapes you. You will battle your way through this. I'm just sorry you have to.
