My business partner and I are wanting to open a wedding venue.

I’ll go back to look at it closer Wed I think, and maybe counter with 124, 750 earnest money, and no penalty for financing delay, since it wouldn’t be my fault.I believe there will be a few other houses that will be suitable that will come up over the next several months.

I drove down last Wed and met w/my property manager who supports several investors in this area and confirmed rents he's getting.  

no communication from Anchor until I asked on Wed. what the status was. 

Not only that, he was in the process of paying for a his wedding.

.: allow it to go to 'best and final' offers, or in fact one agent told my agent he was taking offers on a Wed and by Wed 10am it was suddenly "contract was accepted" for 5K over asking on a probate sale (i.e. seller had no clue) in an area where properties such as that one go at least 20-30K over...

She didn't call and tell you, you couldn't stop by wed.

I’ll be holding a viewing tentatively next Wed.

The remodel was taking too long, went over budget, and all while I was also planning a wedding.

If what is't doing is simply averaging out all the listings, thats about as usefull as telling me the average income of people at a wedding that included Waren Buffet as a guest.
