@Jay Hinrichs Thanks for the tip on the shoe covers.

You basically step into the seller's shoes, handle their monthly payments, and eventually own the place.

Is doable but it's not like shopping for shoes.

Just finished "Shoe Dog" so I second your shout out!

I found a great cloud-based brokerage that will allow me to train without physically being in the office taking leave from my military position.I think about finding a brokerage like going shoe shopping.

I'd argue the buyer stepped into the shoes of the seller and has the same obligation to honor the option agreement and its terms. 

If I were in your shoes, I would be contacting the insurance company daily to make sure the issues get resolved.

Are you waiting for the shoe to drop?

I always try to put myself in other peoples shoes. 

I am not allowed to give personal info here in the open.But ... as the master of SEO,  dude, just do a search for my name, or, shoe size, or, eye color, and I will always be #1 on Google :D
