You may think he's being stubborn but really he needs to adhere to uspap/appraiser/client guidelines 1st.

Some sellers are stubborn as hell.

You are attempting 98% leverage in something where you have no track record, and stubbornly refuse to really consider other options ( you’d probably not be successful with the other options anyway).

Being the Stubborn Texan that I am, ive been killing the hours trying to learn everything that I can on my own to start on my own, but I still find my self stuck searching. there are a few investment strategies that I really like.

Five personal properties and dozens of sales later, I have stubbornly, learned a thing or two when it comes to investing out of state...at present I'm actually developing my first international BNB just 45 mins south of San Diego in North Baja Mexico.- Have a gameplan - Looking out of state will take you far and wide, know what you're looking for.

I'm stubborn & can read, so I read the terms of service. 

I also added some psychology in there before and after I laid down the law to em' for an anticipated positive outcome by the tenant and thanked them for their cooperation..lol.Basically the letter says your being a stubborn, difficult idiot and either you can cooperate or we will file eviction plus come in and fix this stuff while your being evicted whether you like it or not so you can deal with it, leave or we will help you leave but we are still coming in.

It also sounds like you have a pissed off seller who may just be being stubborn, even if he has no right to keep the EMD.

Do you really want to be so stubborn.

I've done this myself for a while, and frankly, I'm starting to get out of my depth (if I wasn't already stubbornly out of my depths to start with).Would appreciate any referrals, I'm Orlando based most of the time but I travel fairly consistently.
