Seems like a messy situation. 

Dealing with people is messy, its not uncommon to have difficult situations and conflicts to deal with. 9.

My partner and I would still do it when the seller was made abundantly aware of the situation and it was the right solution for everyone involved.

You get your own dedicated customer service agent and she handles anything I need in a very fast response time.I have run into a couple issues in the buying/rehab process, but I will say REI has rectified the situation to my satisfaction every time and without major pushback. 

Your situation offers a lot of flexibility, which is a great position to be in.

He is a smart dog and I think he could read the situation well.

@Namal Burman, your post caught my eye because I had a former client-now a good friend-who found herself in a similar situation.

So it always comes down to your personal situation.
