They will just wait for you to cancel the contract and offer on the listing themselves. 

I’ve visited every other property I’ve considered in the past, so this is uncharted territory for me, and it feels a little out of my comfort zone.I’m considering putting it under contract sight unseen to lock it up, but I don’t want to make a rookie mistake here.I'm looking for some advice here.

I just noticed the following language on a policy for a loan I made:"This insurance contract is with an insurer not licensed to transact insurance in this state and is issued and delivered as a surplus line coverage pursuant to the Tennessee insurance statutes."

The City is willing to look the other way as long as your contract is written a certain way.

Well anyone can write anything into a contract, but whether it is legal and enforceable is for the courts to decide...It is State law here that a contractor must call 811 or they are liable for the costs.

But then again, me personally, that too is useless, because the best way to find cash buyers is getting good contracts signed so you don;t need to pay for a software to find them.

I currently live in Tennessee and I have a possible opportunity to in move to the state of New York for a two-year work-related contract come the summertime.

And a general contractor would NEVER sign a customers contract 

@Denise CarringerI'd suggest using a third party contract loan servicer.

The second company had a PM contract and due to other reasons we did not continue their services after a couple of months so tax stuff did not arise.
