Finally!
I'm happy to say that the condo is mine!! It's been a long and very stressful process, but in the end all negotiations worked out and the place will be mine at the end of the month! I couldn't be happier. This will be my very first place...no more apartment living for me. I think it was time for me to move on and actually put my money into something. Thankfully I won't have to do a lot of work there, so I can spend the money on furniture and other things I want and need.
