I started this tread because the vacay rental management seems extremely expensive to me and most of the work is just responding to emails and marketing.  

tread carefully, this might be a (very common) scam.

Basically what it says that if for whatever reason either party defaults on the agreement - the defaulting party has to pay the commission which should have been generated (6%) on top of losing the EMD.Because I am treading lightly into my first closing, I am aware something could go wrong and need to back out within the 30days given to close.

If you're making offers on private seller deals, you'll want to be more careful, as private sellers will certainly be more upset about you backing out than a bank will be.So, tread carefully.

Don't get too caught up in the details of your first deal, as long as you are treading water or even if you're going a bit negative, you will most likely be fine long-term as you are house hacking and reducing your housing costs.
