I am wondering why you allowed yourself to be in a relatively weak position by executing an option contract instead of a purcase contract?

So weak borrowers (no experience, no cash) are going to have a very tough time finding any money.

So, any "unecessary" contingencies like "finance qualification" and "inspection period" will simply make your offer weak.

Hi BP, my concerns (fears) are about 2023, unemployment, and ability to quicken up mortgage paydown: > my whole stock portfolio is only totalling a 1.01% gain, and likely in 2023 the politically propped up stock market will drop and i'll be worse negative in stock market> slackers ... the current unemployment game, will slackers prefer to not pay rent, and this would affect paying down mortgage - as i'm trying to find a new tenant> i'm thinking if i take my weak $50,000 stock portfolio to pay down my 5% mortgage on 2-unit rental, then i will be gaining 5% interest = $24000 savings, and shorten mortgage by 10 years.     

No one can do REI by themselves and some people think that asking for help is a sign of weakness. people though Ford was ignorant because he didn't have an education and therefore wasn't deserving of the fortune he acquired, but when he was questioned about things he had no idea about and then degraded because of it he simply answered " why should I waste time learning things other people already know when I can just push a button and have them come tell me the answer?"

She has a weak case if she kept the website active.

I personally don't believe there is such a thing as a buyers market.The way I think is this, Regardless of if the housing market is strong or weak, this or that, its never really a buyers market and that term is made up.

@Karen Margrave crushing college debt, delayed adult decision making, chronic alcohol abuse, pushed political agendas.

But even that is very weak compared to making a $1 million loan on a property worth $1.3 million.

Your question to me sound very open ended and the answer would depend on the strengths and weaknesses of the individual.Some will say financing and getting money will be a challenge.
