LLC's are simple as asset protection tool.Bring all your concerns such as the ones below to an attorney and insurance agent.1) I have $XXX,XXX net worth.

For $XXX my landlord will loan me my rent money.

I only see the name of the contractor as "XXX" construction, and no contact info.  

I'll do a quitclaim deed and put it back in my LLC.Tom PotterManaging DirectorUS Commercial, LLCDirect line XXX-XXX-XXXX

You can always say :" I like this property xxx, do you have others similar to this?"

One of the biggest mistakes I believe people have made is thinking I have to buy xxx houses this year.

You can'tjust say you're getting xxx dollars.

If you wanted to set a base saying any money over $xxx ($15K?)

You should also send something to the agent certified with return receipt as well as his sponsoring broker and let him know that you have sent this to the Seller as motivation for both parties (e.g. reimburse my earnest money by XX date or I will be pursuing this in small claims court in the amount of $XXX times 3 as mentioned in the contract Paragraph 1, Section 3A blah blah blah and you will be responsible for my attorneys fees as well) - have an attorney help you with the language to make sure it meets your needs since many states are different.  

You were not under any compulsion to accept their terms.Leaving it on MLS as "Active" after an offer is accepted is a violation of our MLS rules, which state that the status must be updated to "contingent" (CTG) within 24 hours after an offer is accepted, and to "under agreement" (UAG) within 24 hours after the P&S is signed.
