The better tactic is to ask for some closing costs back, although you'd be hard pressed to reach $7000 that way, you could make the deal a little more attractive.That said, she has no business changing an offer without asking the clients.

I guess that makes sense if these properties are usually foreclosed upon - it seems like you would be hard pressed to get foreclosed on in Denver these days since prices have gone up so much lately.

Press releases.

I took the word of my realtor on this deal and should've pressed harder on having the terms included. 

I have not pressed the sellers agent any further.

I personally wouldn't do the real estate license yet, because, financially, you have other things that seem more pressing.

If you can't make the $600 payment, you've got more pressing issues to sort out in your life than how to do a deal...Assign the contract to someone.

@Peter T.Yeah, I notice  (esp with the newbies) that it's always 'oh my realtor is so horrible' or 'my contractor is taking to long' or 'my PM is ripping me off 'When pressed for proof, it rarely, if ever materializes.Usually college kids with some book-smarts but zero common sense or real-world experience....jeeeez....

If a guy walked in wearing a perfectly pressed suit, crisp white shirt, shiny oxfords, and with looks to kill, I would say holy cow! 

Austin may be over-publicized and non-sexy as a result, but there is a reason for all of the press.
