I just offered 55k over asking, pay some of their taxes, closing costs, and 15k appraisal gap coverage, and lost the bid. It's fucking insane. I am basically bribing people for the privilege of buying their house. This is the second one to fall through. I'm now looking at houses with 100k lower asking than the amount I'm actually targeting, just to have enough to be able to throw the biggest bribe at them. FUCKING SUCKS, I'm finally making the kind of money to get into an amazing house and here we are. Fuck.

I think you sound overly anxious or frustrated on the issue.

If you are really finding it that difficult, try relaxing on it and giving it a few weeks. A few more dollars in the pocket, and some more time looking are not going to hurt in this market. Lots of indications of downturn coming. Except Pittsburgh for some dumb ass reason.

Maybe try another area near where you are looking... Without asking too much, say you are looking around Philly, far north suburbs, why not then look closer to the Amish down south near the old tastykake plant?

I've got some time constraints, current lessor only does year leases so I've got to be out by a fixed date, AND I'm tied to the area to keep my kids in the same schools. This is a move from leasing to owning, so really don't want to go far.

I'm really just whining, telling poal, just got the rejection news and needed to vent to someone. I'll get a place and it'll be all good, but fuck is it frustrating, and frankly infuriating because the only thing that's changed since I bought my last house was mass illegal immigration and Blackrock started going hog on private houses.

It wasnt only blackrock. Several jewganizations started buying every home they could get their hands on.

All in effort to invest nothing, and flip for more, by market manipulation.
