Partners in so many things





Still working analog.

So have I mentioned that we're buying a house? Have I mentioned don't use Redfin?
No? Well, I don't want to dwell on the negative.

The mortgage broker, J. called. The bank - owned by chinese californians wouldn't lend to us because we were in a partnership. They don't lend to partnerships, or trusts or corporations or companies. They do home loans for individuals and couples - you know married couples. But since we were in a domestic partnership, they wouldn't loan us money. Because they don't loan money to companies - particularly ones who provide domestics.

J. had to gently bring them into the 21st century.
