Well here's my update:
Lender asked seller for more info.
Seller gave lender information quickly.
Their document is back under review, should be re-reviewing the file within 7 days.
Then the lender will order a Broker's Price Opinion...
I guess after the BPO is when the real action starts?
Hart, help.
OT Comment: Why is everyone telling me that people can buy their short sale back!? Ugh, it amazes me how ignorant some people are!
I haven't heard of BPO.
Mine went this way. I looked and inspected, gave offer to bank/seller, bank counter offered, I excepted and signed paperwork, ordered my own inspection, notified bank of MUST repair items regardless of short sale, repairs made by seller, sent out appraiser, appraiser sent bank list of needed repairs (peeling paint), seller fixed paint, appriser going back out for final approval of said repair, set closing date.
There may have already been a BPO on your house in the past... but I have been told every short sale has to have a BPO. Mine hasn't had one yet.
Trust me, it'll come right in line with the extremely cheap offer I gave.
I know the house was appraised by the city back in October, so I took advantage of public info and offered only $500 above appraised value.

This whole home improvement thing is going to be much cheaper than I thought.
First time I ever heard anyone say that before!
Just don't cheap out on doors
Is that too cheap of a door? I mean I can't justify spending $700 on a door.
So the grand I am looking at for a front door only must be nuts for ya?

Don't forget about the side door also. I don't "need" to replace them just yet but am looking to upgrade and make it my own.
Trust me and what Tom also says, ya do get what ya pay for. Look at the Pella line of products, their higher end doors and windows are great. Also don't forget I did doors and windows along with home improvement for a short time which was a MAJOR eye opener as to what is offered out there. Not to mention I grew up in a constant "home improvement" zone rebuilding 2 houses with my Father as I grew up.

I haven't even gotten to the major paperwork yet but I'm already sick of the BS. I've signed way too many papers already.

paperwork wasn't bad on mine, the waiting was the worst
well and the previous owner storming out during the signing since he thought he was going to get a big check but forgot what all he agreed to!

Paper work on buying a home now is worse now than ever. Thanks to the gooberment and the crash with over lending to folks that couldn't afford a snickers bar let alone a $200,000 house
