@Jeremy Z.

...it may also be useful to emphasize that the lease is an X month term, and that if the tenant wants to vacate early, then there will be penalties of X, Y, Z.

Home prices put buying out of reach for many Americans and gen Z is choosing to rent over buy at record rates in part because they prefer a more nomadic lifestyle.Hold your ground and rents will begin to tick back up in 2024.Cheers,

Tell them, I'm still working on x,y an z. 

@Priscilla Z I feel that i having that due diligence period with the buyer would allow them to back out if it was necessary.

@Jeremy Z. it’s always ways to say some who is successful is a scam.

I would really appreciate your help.Thanks,Helen Z
