Probably a bit of a gamble to waive some of my rights, but really wanted to push this deal thru

If they've just got the 3.5% down, then you've got to decide if it's worth the gamble to enter into a long escrow, or take the listing back to active in hopes of finding the right buyer with the right loan (or cash).

They may let a seller suffer less who carried back a second.Assuming there is an agreement for the second to cut the debt, restructuring it later, dealing fraudulently with a lender to influence them in taking a loss won't be something you want to do.

I am not a gambling man.

It sounds like a badly or attempted fraudulent sale by A as obviously he didn't go through a title company or a closing agent as they would have filed docs.

I don't chase other women, go out drinking all night, spend money on gambling, or things like that. 

Stock and crypto are legalized gambling, as far as I am concerned and, like @Scott Trench, I am sure glad that my retirement is based heavily on real estate. 

@Sheila Campbell I'm risk adverse... read that as willing to gamble.

With your fraudulent proposal, you've even further reduced your cash outlay, giving a very high cash on cash return.

You would think the revenue from the gambling would have helped the Joliet people out, but they never shared that money with the town. oh well, its still a great, great place to invest.
