After about 1.5 years of paying off my credit debt and cleaning up my reports, I am OFFICIALLY approved! I am sitting here stunned, just stunned (with the fax in hand). All that remains to do is negotiate the selling price of the new townhome with the builder, and sign a contract to kick things off. After all the effort, this was the brass ring I was reaching for. To everyone whose credit is a work in progress--you can do it too. Just suck it up, live frugally, and pay things off. I am so happy I do not want to even stay at work! I think I need to do a drive-by of my future townhouse on the way home tonite!
Congratulations!!!! Now it's time to live it up! Unloosen that belt and PARAARRRTTY!!! =oD You deserve it.
