Contract is sign, so what's next? Well, I have to talk to my lender, get the mortgage going. I need to get the home inspected. One article even says I should contact the municipality to find out more about the home. So, today during lunch I will need to call my bank and talk to the mortgage guy. I sent him an e-mail last night, but have not yet gotten a response, so I need to find out the next steps there.
I also need to do some research about home inspections. Find out what I should do to make sure I have gotten a proper and thorough inspection, and questions to ask ahead of time to know the inspector will do what needs to be done. Then after work contact some people to get it scheduled.
Then maybe tomorrow I should see about contacting Lilburn (I'm guessing that would be the "municipality" I need to contact) about the property. Of course, I'm going off the suggestions of a blog I found from a couple years ago.
I also need to contact my insurance company and get homeowner's insurance. Luckily, I can do that anytime of day. I plan on continuing to use Progressive, since they do my car insurance already and should have reasonable costs.
I have e-mailed my agent to find out more about scheduling with her about getting the inspection done, can't get in without help.
I will also need to worry about utilities, but I have time before that has to be done. Luckily I don't plan on moving in immediately, but I do need the house to be somewhat livable right away. This is going to be an ordeal, that's for sure.
