The Member Formerly Known As Darnell Memorial Rant (note he is taking a break nothing wrong with him)

Pulling a Darnell and showing up after all, see we man.

Pulling? fingers? other extremities? Reminder - to pull a real 'Darnell' - you gotta make Brownelles first.

since timing and calendar is an issue,

I suggest you talk with the seller directly,

and inquire if you can temporarily stay there prior to the actual closing.

This is done often in Texas - a temporary lease (of sorts) document added to the pile. If for a week to two weeks, sometimes this is a free bonus, even the seller paying for the utilities. But it must be negotiated, and I sense this wasn't even a topic for discussion.

I've been watching your posts about this - I still not see any mention of YOU actually signing any documents, and that bothers me. Sure, it's difficult for a recent immigrant to have a high-enough credit score to chase after a mortgage - that's why I'm a fan of a private seller-financed-mortgage - where the final loan decision is made with the seller - not any mortgage company. Sure, it's rare, but the hassle is reduced.

yeah, that is common in singapore as well. i asked the real estate agent about that possibility back in march, but since the seller is a bank, we can't do that. they are not willing to rent it to us either.

i have signed a few documents. the loan is in jonas' name only so that we can get a better interest rate, i am on the title though.

btw, my mom is selling her condo in malaysia that she has been renting out for almost a decade, and agreed to rent the unit out to the buyer before closing, just like you suggested. usually my mom gets $650/mth for the unit. the buyer "rented" it from my mom at $100/mth (usually she rents it out for $650, not sure why my mom agreed to go as low as $100 - probably just my mom being too trusting) supposedly for renovation work. a few months ago, the maintenance office lady called my mom to let her know that the buyer has been renting the condo out to two families (two bedrooms, so one each) at $700/mth total. and the sale has dragged on 4 months, and my mom has not seen a single cent of rent money yet. so she has been bugging the lawyer, and suddenly, the lawyer is now saying he needs the title to another property my mom holds, but cannot cite a reason for it. very shady guy. :\

wish my mom had someone to go with her to malaysia and help her deal with the tenants, the buyer, and the lawyer in person. she is too nice, and an easy target for people who want to take advantage of others like her.

the good thing is, the lady put down a hefty earnest money deposit. so if all else fails, my mom does have that to fall back on.

I know how you like your eggs. Fertlized!

Despite the misspelling, shame man, where's the +Many,000,000,000,000 button, huh man?

[kitthekat 1,317]

i don't care enough about anyone's +1 totals to care that he asks for it...

[Darnell 8,479]

It was something like that Steve. I don't remember to be honest haha. New nickname!

Nola we always ended up going to DC, Baltimore, Philly or Gettysburg. This city blows but it's close to a lot of better ones so we always had a lot to choose from for school trips. Never got to go to New York though!

Take the Megabus in for this upcoming weekend, bring the husband.

I have spoken.

[TBoneTX 45,863]

Nope not going to happen.

You LIE! Reported!!!!!

suddenly, the lawyer is now saying he needs the title to another property my mom holds, but cannot cite a reason for it. very shady guy.

Many% of lawyers give the remaining 1% a bad name, sigh ma'am.

[Darnell 8,479]

Ok, the kid is out of jail.....

His father is in the hole for over 40k already....

maybe some details in later posts, but

i'm sure his family feels some relief about it.

Hope they shove him into a real job after a real bath.

Eating grapes now. All I need is a harem to feed it to me.....

Well, call yer krewe !

And, speaking of diarrhea, I haven't seen Tark.....

It's certain he'll show up eventually, especially after a high-colonic done Tuesday afternoon.

Clean em out, y'all !

Warsher de-dished, achieved man.

Stray piece of chocolate cake eaten, ingested man.

Let the cheap shots from some continue, buying it cheap man.

Mornin', Commie- and other babes with +1 inventories! (<--- test of reading comprehension, D man)

tbh, this is normal in Malaysia.

I suggest Mom and dad get there this weekend, with police crew, evict everyone. And get a new realtor/agent, and a new attorney.

Alas, he does care.

And makes a concerted effort to haze members to click his posts .

It really is hazing.

[TBoneTX 45,863]

Somebody needs to get his goat back from whoever got his goat, sigh man...

And nothing like a stated absence that isn't, no man.

Mornin', sensible Singapuras who don't care about their +1 inventories!

it is normal when you have rose colored blinders on and can't see that someone is manipulating you for their own gain.

my mom has no way of getting there on her own. she is not well, and my dad is getting old too, he often loses his way navigating on malaysian roads. we got him a gps with malaysian maps but he refuses to use it. the only way will be for me to go with her once i'm back, we can take a taxi from our home to the terminal in johor, then get a local cab from there. doubt we will enlist the help of the polisi, they are unlikely to want to help singaporeans who are buying up all their local property and raising real estate prices.

Alas, he does care.

you're going wackadoo, man.

eh - my singaporean buddies had similar problems, polizi/si were useful. JB? I went up on three weekends with 3 different sets of friends, so it's quite possible to get it done. Sure, ya gotta pay a gratuity to the cops, but for my friends, it was useful.

not sure when your friends tried that, but anti-singaporean sentiment amongst malaysian police is quite well-known these days. it could easily backfire against you if you get them involved.

ya, it's probable the climate changed - my life in singapura was 2004/5. I set up a programming shop in Liverpool, UK, right after.
