The seller accepted the offer with terms of accepting backup offers until January 8th, which I am fine with.

Instead of seeing this as an opportunity, people like you get offended, and their egos are hurt, so to defend it they will instead of accepting actual data, try to manufacture and manipulate the narrative to construct a realm where they could still be right regardless of where or not it is right.

Duplex appraised 380 (super ****ing low ball) brings in an estimated 3,900 a month in rents. buyer agreed and SIGNED addendum to purchase at 397,500. day of closing they dont show, tell us they didnt know what they agreed to pay over appraised value and are trying to get us to accept 386k. my agent had me lock in our month to month long term tenant to a year lease for THEIR lender and now they pull this.. they have only 5k in escrow account.. my agent wont reduce his commission from 3%-2% to help bridge the gap. suggestions?? 

If not weekly, please propose a cadence that is acceptable (not less than monthly). 

I have no doubt there will be a mainstream cyber currency one day.

Also keep in mind, terms other than price will play a role in getting you offer accepted too.

Or if your accepting to be very hands-on as owner-operator. 

If they're serious, I encourage them to send me the request which I accept (after I've also made our House Rules clear).

I do agree that I think they're having growing pains, but unfortunately that isn't the kind of thing I can afford to just accept when I'm choosing a company to go with.

I had this issue before, and I wish my agent told me to accept cashiers check instead of a personal check, and I had to resort to hiring a lawyer to scare the tenant with a letter from his office.
