I think you will definitely want to talk to your lawyer because there may be items linked to this transaction you are not considering. 

From what I have seen, the typical remedy is termination of the contract, refund of the EM deposit and all expenses incurred by the buyer during the failed transaction.

And if it were set up where everything went through a title company so the buyer pays the title company, they manage the buyer's loan (from me), and the title company ensures my mortgage is paid without my direct involvement... what parts of the transaction would feel risky or not worth the headache to you? 

If it's currently an STR they should be able to provide you with the p/l statement from prior years so you can see gross rents, operating expenses, average daily rates and occupancy levels.

If you can sit on the sidelines and be choosy this requirement is fine, but you are going to have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find someone with that much cash on a wrap sale transaction...it may take 6+ months unless you advertise like a mad man3.

A common pitfall is treating each deal as a standalone transaction instead of connecting acquisitions, financing, and project management as part of one cohesive process.
