If there is a title issue or an encroachment then the buyer is entitled to a refund of the EMD.I feel like there is a missing piece of the puzzle. 

We're not curing cancer; it's just buying real estate, doing some basic math, buying some furniture and kitchen utensils, maybe getting creative with some amenities, and listing properties on STR platforms...it's daunting when you're new, certainly a grind to get started, but it's not a mystery or puzzle to solve.
