We quickly put the house under contract and started looking for buyers.

it has seven offices that can be used as bedrooms if a person wanted to make it a Boarding house, a pad split, or something of that nature.

So I’m in a bit of a bind, I have a duplex I’m house hacking we remodeled entire thing, new hvac, electric panels, electric main, updated plumbing, water heaters, furnace, install central air, roof.

You bought a house for $100,000.

After securing the deal, the buyer made my wife and I go through three-feet deep of snow to "winterize" the house so there wouldn't be any plumbing issues.It was a 2 hour drive there, and a 2 hour drive back.So much time and effort put into it for only $4k...

AshleyNormal, however you have wide latitude in the actual agreement you agree to sign, how long, how much commission, that’s not to see individual agents have to agree to your terms, but if you feel uncomfortable with the terms you are free to negotiate or shop around, however an agent cannot legally show you a house without an signed agreement of some sort. 

That loan is for $309,000 and the house is under contract for $490000. 

i bought a property that formerly had a house there for 100 years, but the house was torn down and the property was zoned industrial. 

@Sam Kay, I have never had to pressure test a house after water service is started, but I have replumbed more than a few houses, and pressure testing is a rough in inspection requirement (same with gas lines).
