Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: A couple years ago , I just started a good , high-paying job and thought it was time to buy a house . I was living in an apartment with my friend , but he was going to be sent to an army base across the country that next year . I drove around my city in search of a house for sale that I would like to move into . There was a sign out front for the realtor , or a person that buys houses so they can sell them to other people , so I called the phone number on the sign and arranged a meeting . The realtor showed me the inside of the house , which they put a lot of work into so it would look extra nice for people that want to buy it . I was very impressed , so a couple weeks later , I met the realtor at the house . A mortgage is basically a type of loan where the bank pays for the house , and in return , they own it and you pay a monthly fee for many years to pay them back . Once you 're done paying , you own the house . A down payment is a large amount of money you pay the realtor to show you 're responsible enough and make enough money to pay for the mortgage . Once we agreed on prices , the realtor had me sign a bunch of papers saying that I 'd pay for the house and follow whatever rules the bank set about what I can do to the house . Once that was done , I made an arrangement with my friend to help pay for his bills until he moved away and I was able to move in to my new house a few weeks later . Question: When did they talk about mortgages and a down payment? Option1: While negotiating Option2: After seeing the sign in the yard
Output (English): While negotiating
