While I'm certainly not a fan of FNMA, my experience with them over many deals is that they are careful not to do anything that would result in obvious negative press or a lawsuit, so my guess is that there is another side to this story that you're not telling.While FNMA's addendum generally gives them the right to back out of a deal for pretty much any reason, I've never seen that happen, and would be VERY surprised if they backed out just because they got a better offer, and I'd be VERY, VERY surprised if they did this and then tried keeping the earnest money.If the story is as clear cut as you say, why did the escrow/title company release the earnest money to FNMA.

See what is available locally as you can often get a deal from a counter top company that might have a piece that fits your needs at a good savings (possibly ordered for a job and then returned or a broken slab that can be cut to fit your job).

Cutting out the other debt first may help to alleviate that.

Worst case, if they cut corners on the pan and waterproofing, you'll have a complete tear-out on your hands.

For example, I don't cut any grass, because I have mowers (including the guys that cut my own grass) that will do a yard for $20.
