The ability to do what you want, when you want, and have money coming in to support that.Things to work on: savings, credit, going to local real estate meetups, listening to podcasts, reading books.

Quote from @Ragan Manning: Hey Nicholas,I am the owner of Manning Your Books and I work exclusively with REI clients.

I just asked a title rep in the area and she says they wont handle a close even as a transaction coordinator unless they write a policy for it which they cant do on a manufactured home on a rented lot.

When something goes haywire in a transaction where I am about to push a lot of money across the table, I take it as a sign.

If you have the cash to complete the transaction as is, I would recommend simply paying the balance.
