Quote from @Sergio P Ramos: I am currently in a back and forth bidding situation.

@Dina Schmid  We has a situation where the seller of the property was an estate and listed the property as being 8 acres.

Without having much info, I would need to know the financial situation of the 'close family' to determine a best approach.

@Elizabeth LebIf you’re starting with $20,000, focus on defining your goals and exploring the best options for your situation.

In a perfect situation, the payment will still be delayed (even if by hours) using this additional system.And secondly, many of these vendors have "clawback" provisions where, in their terms of service, you give them permission to go back into your account - even weeks after the fact - and reverse a deposit that was made by your tenant.My system is simple, allows for tenants to pay through multiple means, and does not cost me anything extra.

If you want clients to have empathy for your situation with your company we would expect the same treatment back.

she is all over social media, found quite a few others in a similar situation
