Shit on a Plate
Today I was offered Shit on a Plate. We got an offer on our house yesterday. Another lowball offer. My ex replied "only if it's an As-Is sale" to which the realtor replied Yes, it is AS-IS. Today, when I went to sign the papers, I noticed there were inspection contingencies - a lot of … Continue reading Shit on a Plate
