I wish I could have talked to a live person through this process as it would have calmed my nerves about potentially losing my money.  

Way to go @Cody L. with nerves of still to put up hard deposit in 1 day!

Any suggestions on calming his nerves?

Your advice, and that of others, forced me to re-examine this deal...which I realized wasn't until further notice.

To be honest, I didn't have much of an idea of how to price things out, and in terms of investor psychology, I probably wasn't willing to walk away and I also hadn't really slept since the first conversation with him; nerves, I guess. 

Some economists estimate we are some 5 million housing units behind the demand.Home building recovery is just now gaining momentum, but is not expected to catch up to demand until something happens to dampen demand in a major way.So, you need to examine housing valuation to see what is driving it: supply vs. demand or is demand being stimulated artificially by availability of lending like it was in the run up to the crash.Hope this helps ...

Thank you @Antonio Chasten It was definitely nerve wrecking but encouraging at the same time.

Over the next few days, I walked the property with my property manager and finalized the scope of work with my painter and contractor, making sure that we were all on the same page in regards to the tasks that needed to be done immediately following closing.Closing day was a little bit nerve-wracking!
