I just got word that my buyer was approved on Tuesday, and the closing will be scheduled within the next few weeks.
Whee!
Of course, I have no idea where I’m going to live next. I can’t do any serious apartment-hunting until I have the proceeds in hand, and of course I won’t have those until the actual closing. I’ll have seven days to move out after the closing, but that’s cutting it close. I’m hoping to either get something last-minute, or put my stuff in storage and get into a sublet for a month or two while I figure out where to go next.
The pets will be an issue, of course. I definitely have a place to stash the dog, but the cats might be a problem. OTOH, it’ll be easier to get a sublet with just them while I look for a dog-friendly building.
Apartments around here are pretty cheap, especially on the other side of Coney Island Avenue closer to Flatbush (which is also closer to a much more convenient subway line). And there’s Astoria, which is very close to where I work, and also fairly cheap.
I’m kicking myself a little for getting the computer now, but it’s not like I could move in anywhere with $1300, even in Flatbush.
Eh. It’ll all work out in the end.
Congrats! Woot! Hope that realtor info I sent you helps.
