The new tenants didn't know how to lite the brand-new stove.

So the lender is in the clear and Lendbase isn't actually the lender.  

I may be misremembering this next part, but I recall one of the RTR podcast episodes where he mentions that RTR keeps all the “10’s” and gives the “9’s, 8’s, and 7’s” to the customers.

That sure is a pretty looking bridge, I hope the local people find it to be a very useful thing.

If the interest rates go up to around 7% again do the numbers still work for the remainder of the loan? 

I am of the opinion that you'd be better served using that money toward the down payment on a property.

Quote from @Havital Miltz: I do not know that if someone is in the hospital you can force them to close, I am not an attorney, but I doubt any court will find in your favor, closings do not always happen exactly on the day that is planned, even if everyone is healthy and well, the wholesaler here is not the reason for the delay so I am not sure what exactly you can sue him/her for, they are also being held up due to the seller not being wellJust give the person some time to get out of the hospital, closing will probably not happen the very next day either, this is really extenuating circumstance. 

I would like Ca population to decrease over the next 10 years.  

I currently live in the Bay Area, but I’ve decided to start investing in the Jackson County/MO area.
