Today I lost out on a house because my offer of $90k over the list price was beat out by another bid. Everyone else having an equally crappy Monday?

Got lucky with a house in the M streets last summer and only paid 20k over asking with no other competing offers.

Already appreciated $80k!

East Dallas prices have exploded. What price range are you looking in?

We are about to close on a house after six times of this same thing happening to us. The one we finally went under contract for actually had bids higher than ours in terms of sales price, but the seller chose ours because of our terms. We found a lender who could close in 2 weeks and provide a $5k guarantee to seller if we didn’t close in time. Also waived appraisal and had a super high option fee, which is very risky because you lose that if you walk away. This all terrified me lol but it worked and it was for a house we love. Talk to your realtor about being more aggressive with your terms!

Took us nearly two years but we finally won! It’s a terrible process right now. Don’t make financial decisions you’ll regret for a house.

Hi team ,

However I note that there was withholding of some amount in 2017-2018 and 2019 tax years ( withholding from comission received from insurance commission from lic and United india)

I have not filed 2017, 2018, 2019 return as my total income was less than threshold

Is it possible to file return for 2017 , 2018, 2019( all r in refund) now without paying any penalty?
