If the people you get in bed with on deals are shady, then you in effect become shady with them and your habits become shady.

Here, there is an older Indian couple and a few other regulars who seem to just buy up everything.I go even when I'm not buying just to study their habits and drink the horrid courthouse coffee.

@TonyNo harm man.

Just wondering as I know most mortgage companies will not lend without certain working appliances, not sure about dishwasher but definitely need to have an oven installed and working or they don't consider it habitable (at least the lenders we've worked with), so could be a problem if your buyers need a loan.

I make it a habit to share whatever knowledge I have to anyone that asks, share a contact whatever assistance possible.

I would love to encourage people to get rid of the word "because" in the head and stop the habit of whining.

A good option is the P/A without default provisions as the optionee can walk away, no harm no foul.I have used standard purchase agreements then with an addendum, delete para 12, 13, 18 qnd 21 for example, then state the buyer has the option to avoid the contract and address specifics of the option, date notice is required, closing after notice, option price, credit toward the purchase, no contingencies.Or, use an option agreement

I will post them in the marketplace from now on and ledgers fe to there.No harm (or sales pitch in this case) intended.

I really just want to solve it without harming the owner.

The house is a fixer, but habitable.
