I am not sure if you can press criminal charges for a bad check in this case. 

If you are more interested in the highest cash flowing neighborhoods, as of May/June '22 you will be hard-pressed to find (LTR) cash flowing properties in the Triangle after subtracting maintenance, cap-x, vacancy, and PM services. 

They do not want bad press.

If they don't accept the terms and this offer the offer will just get worse when I present it again in a couple months after it remains on the market and the need to sell is more pressing.

Lot's of sellers target 1031 buyers at low caps because they know the buyers are looking at a big tax penalty with depreciation recapture and long term capital gains if their exchange fails.You have to really find someone that is off market with a pressing need to sell ( Wants to retire, partnership split, wants to recapitalize into other projects,etc.)The ones on the market tend to do ( call for offers ) with multifamily, rounds of bidding, and try to suck out every basis point they can selling to a sucker at crazy prices.

@Benjie DeVera I think you'll be hard pressed to find a M/F property around here that meets the 2% rule.

I'm hard pressed to believe their monthly fee or big ticket program offer more information, or better organized information that you can find on BP, hear on MFR specific podcasts, or read in a handful of dave lindahl books. 

On paper I would be hard-pressed to find a link between that field of study and REI, but in my case it's easy to find a connection when I trace where my studies took me.Studying Japanese led me to Japan, as a college student and then later as a 'real' adult. 

If you have the ability to continue storing cash at that rate from your current profession, it may be wise to wait for a shift and full-court press at that point in time (but who's to say exactly when that will be).
