So it looks like he has 2 causes to cancel contract, 1) Seller cannot deliver Marketable Title and 2) Bank rejected the Application due to length of time.While he can't actually buy anything because his deposit is locked up, he needs to see what is available so he can make a decision on if he should stay in this prolonged Contract or cancel it and go on to another property.So he wants to submit a non-binding offer to purchase but cannot go into contract because he has no money for a down payment until the previous down payment is returned.HOWEVER, it seems as if the original Seller's Attorney wants to use this to claim Breach of Contract?!

I am looking to buy window units hot and cold air functions for a property under Rehab - has anybody bought this lately and would you recommend any brand based?

His quote came in a little bit above what we expected for a couple reasons that are extremely boring to explain, but long story short we think if we sub contract out the electrical work associated with the install on our own and go with forced hot air systems we will be right in line for what we budgeted for.Painting in the common area and the 3rd floor flooring work should pick back up next week.

I'm often shocked at the number of people in Chicago who will pay $1,800 a month for a 1 ba apartment with no upgrades and window air conditioning.

The Building Code however could make certain requirements impossible to adhere to (such as light and air, egress, fire seperation, etc.) .

I'm from Bel Air, MD (north of Baltimore) and have one rental property which has worked out amazingly well so far. 

Are there air gaps in doors/windows?
