By the way, Richard, I feel your participation in this forum adds a great deal of substance.

Or did you not really want an answer to your question...did you just want to make ridiculous comments without any substance like some of these other guys.Btw, where's Mr_Investor?

If indeed your going to short sale, your not at risk of harming your security to any profits...why stay on.

When they start ranting like a virgin teenager who just lost his date to a smooth, older guy, it means they've got nothing of substance, which means you've won.

Shoots further and straighter and just as harmful.

Most comments I found had little substance though there are a few that provide substantive comments.If your not a Realtor, there is a good chance that your opinions will be scoffed at.

Take a good look at it if it is covered in a hard white substance it is most likely asbestos.

In alot of cases, since no one is harmed there is usually no one to complain.

There is no harm in asking, but be prepared if they say no.Good luck.

To void any part of the contract the seller would have to show that money from a loan was not the same as funds from your account....no damage, no harm, no foul.Making a cash offer tells the seller you have the funds and that it is a slam dunk, if you don't and the loan does not come in, you're up a creek.Contracting with financing checked has two primary purposes, one it informs the seller it's not a slam dunk deal that it will be subject to financing requirements and it provides a contingency for the buyer.
