He failed to provide clear itemizations, which opened the door to legal action from tenants.Make sure you’re documenting everything clearly and adhering to the laws in your area to avoid similar issues.

Therefore whether its a "cash" or financed transaction, it shouldn't matter for the seller unless the seller doesn't want to deal with the financing contingencies/feels a buyer who is reliant on financing will be a risker transaction or they are a wholesaler in which many times complicates the ability to utilize financing.
