Continuing to Buy A House

Buying a house continues to be an endless series of papers to sign and things to transmit. Apparently after the 2008 bubble, regulations increased markedly on buying houses. So there's a whole list of things you have to do, and things you can't (or shouldn't) do, and I have to prove that I have or have not done all these things, with documentation. Like, I shouldn't have opened a credit account over the past year (which I haven't, except I sort of have, because we bought the cars, but apparently car loans are different, because the lender calmed down once I pointed out what that was).

And we've got to have an inspection, and an assessment, which is fine. And we have to prove we actually have the down payment, and that it isn't money I've borrow via a credit card (yikes, do people do that?), and so on.

Still, the process is processing. We may actually be living in Fayetteville by the middle of December.
