We are so thankful that we do not buy a new house every day. It has been a learning experience each step of the way. Sadly we have learned not to be so trusting of those who claim to be looking out for our interests. After waiting for over a week for an appraisal to be completed our lender called and said that she had bad news. She said that the water heater, the furnace, the gas meter, and the plumbing had all been stolen. She also said that they do not give loans for houses that need that kind of work, but if we were to get those things replaced they would be glad to give the loan. Throughout the day we called the real estate agent and the next door neighbor. As they investigated they found that the water heater and furnace were still there but the plumbing was indeed missing. Our real estate agent and a representative for the bank that is selling the property took some pictures and are talking to the seller to see if they have insurance that would cover the repairs. There was no forcible entry. Whoever came in probably had been through the house pretending to be interested in purchasing the property and had the code from the key box that agents use to get in.
We know that God is in control. He knows the timetable. We trust Him. Our lender said that the devil must not want you in Cleveland! We know that there is a battle going on that we cannot see so we continue to prepare to go.
