I didn't know it at the time I bought my house, but I paid about $ 5,000 to get into it (3.5 % down and 6 months»
escrow up front), while the sellers paid
over $ 10,000 to get
out (the owner got married to another homeowner, and they ended up selling both houses to move
out of town; I don't even know what kind
of bath they took on the house we weren't involved with).
