The issue was a person sold their home subject 2 and the person who bought it stopped paying.

This requires an income that allows you to maintain your standard of living throughout your life.

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!

I've only had one person look at my home. 

The answer to this question is really a personal one.

@Enrique Toledo  If the seller is firm at 10% down, you can always get a personal loan for that 10%. 

(eg, if your lot is not the standard 25 x 125, but some other multiple where the width is actually skinnier than 25, and the lenghth is longer than 125, and you want to reduce side setback requirements, eg.)
