I reached out to RTR, they referred me to another contractor which gave me a bid that would increase the construction cost by 100K - or they offered to buy as is and I would take a 160K loss.It is terrible to fell this dumb!

That's not what I am referring to.

I am not sure about the RE laws in the market you are referring too however in the State of WI if there is a property a seller does not perform on contractually, before expiration we have our attorney draft a notice of interest into that property and file it with the county. 

I think you are referring to Jorge from AHP.

Depending how long your LTR was in there, you might need to fix or update a few items.
