So, if this happened to me, I might have to modify the above item going forward, perhaps specifying window covering need to be made of some type of textile. 

The option payment is tendered so the earnest money is not at risk. 

[Of course, I am speaking in generalities and know nothing of your market/analysis specifics]...My 2c:- wholesale them off to one of your peer-wholesalers - you could conduct a mini-tender to see which Offer will result in the highest Profit to you? 

I would also tender that I believe the rental market remains fairly strong from a demand side here.  

Bring checks for $100K and one set of small checks -- one $50K, one $25K, two $10K and one $5K and you can pay any price and tender within $5K.2.

On top of that you could tender your rent to the purchaser of the property (the bank generally) and that may give you some more time.

Home tenders, estate liquidations, estate planning, etc

I can speak to Maine history and say that where you see multis in Maine... mostly in areas with mill work (paper, textile, canneries, etc.).

Most often they are clustered together to form neighborhoods around old textile mills and often day from the first half of the 20th century.  

I have nurses, an MIT professor who left Boston due to high rent and covid related issues, a teacher, and even a textiles engineer to give you an idea of the type of individuals that this area attracts.
