Circumstances changed for the seller during the winter (frozen pipes and water damage) and they reached out to us. 

Of course you can use any of these payment methods outside their intended use, but there is a risk of funds being frozen or accounts closed.

Now we plan on going to move to Florida on the chance that we wont have to deal with frozen pipes.

Lots of interior plumbing that we did ourselves (frozen burst pipes).  2 Kitchens, 2 baths, some electrical, Rugs  Garage partions,  work and it cost approx $40,000.  

@Mike BhakConsidering they have frozen the ability to even acquire a passport in the US at this time tells me this is currently not a good idea.

Primary resident has a HELOC, bank has frozen the HELCO Im paying it down, and I have never been behind on it, all bills paid on time, but debt of CC are maxed.

Last time I filed an eviction here in NJ it apparently turned up before the court date and the tenants showed up with the money pleading for me to rescind and write a letter saying it was all a mistake as they had a new place all lined up but the eviction case was causing a problem.Now I have a tenant acting all psycho, not responding to emails or calls, and I think she's going to withhold rent and force me to eviction court so she can tell someone how awful we are that her apartment was in the 60's when the entire east coast was frozen.

I would inform the guest that the list is frozen at some point and any further desires can be submitted via letter and rent price will be discussed as well.

The cash I speak of takes two forms, cash flow (liquid)  and equity (solid/frozen). 

Unfortunately, they appear to be going through serious liquidity issues and have informed clients that their fundings are frozen for the next 1-2 months, they parted ways with their legendary CEO Bill Tessar on Friday (who had just been interviewed on the latest episode of "On the Market"), and if I had to guess it would appear they are fading out of the business....
