In terms of hedging against your bet, you really can't say that by having a lease in place you're protecting yourself any further.

Make sure you are running the numbers carefully; you can bet that those other buyers you mention are not.

Just need a good GC contract that you can enforce if they dont perform.. pretty simple at that point and frankly much safer for you not to give the GC any formal ownership at all..

That's the problem now, it's gotten so filthy that folks are saying bet today and in small time frame or pony up for true short.

Looking for a "Board Certified Attorney" related to real estate would be your best bet.

I bet your agent is doing their best but maybe take the listing off and try FSBO or meet a few more agents and see if they can suggest a different approach.I'm gonna probably do that, I will leave my listing active until end of the month or mid April and then either, remove and relist as FSBO or find another agent to give fresh approach.next, i would consider MTR in the interim, it might be better to have it cashflow and cover some of your expenses like HML and holding costs. while keeping the listing active.

It’s also a lot safer to use a cc to protect against identity theft.

I would suggest a safer location and that would give you less headache.

I'd recommend keeping it in the bank until you have learned enough to make intelligent investment decisions.Personally, I would do the following:500,000 - Gold, Bitcoin - Always prudent to hedge your bets.1,000,000 - Cash.
