The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

No point in writing offers that have little to no success of being validated by the lender or appraiser. 

I'd love to be wrong, but that just does not seem like something one would write out.

If the seller is now asking to be able to complete the home inspection, without first fixing the gas leak, I again don't have any issue with that as long as its inside your inspection period and you have the credit etc in writing at this point. 

@Chris SeveneyYou should write a book about your experiences.Thanks for sharing.

The benchmark is what people do for pro formas and try to re-write history in the future, it never works that way.I've been deeper than anybody here in physical asset investing, albeit not REI, and it's just not the case that history is relevant.

If not no worries, I will appeal and write back here to tell you all about the experience for the next Middletown ct person!

Then it shouldn't be that difficult, but do put everything in writing and sign it.

Did you know how to write up a P&SA?.

Unless you made promises in writing that his whole living area would be 68 degrees or something, he has no case!
