Don't let that discourage you, and certainly don't think that your options are then limited to conventional financing. 

Also, if the seller is willing owner financing may be another option too. 

They are ghosting you because they are not the end buyer and they are doing their best to flip the contract to someone else during that option period.  

I’ve seen folks spoiled by the optionality, and I’ve seen folks who have been given a lot maximize their potential with it.I look forward to learning from the people on this thread.

The way I look at it is that I have a few different options - 1.

If it does, does it also have a section that gives another option? 

If you wants to find a property in Nashville you should define your investment goals, research the market, choose a location, assess your budget and financing options, choose a particular type of property, become acquainted with local regulations, network with professionals, conduct thorough property search and due diligence, think about one’s long-term investment strategy and assess risks and opportunities.You can locate a good home in Nashville by taking these steps and consulting with knowledgeable local consultants.Good luck!

In majority of instances seller financing for the seller is a horrible idea and should only be an option when the home doesn’t get conventional financingMany will disagree with above which is fine - it’s similar to winning lottery and taking lump sum over payments.

With that said- there are other programs that can accomplish similar benefits in terms of minimal down payment options, etc. 

Few options to consider:1) contact FREC to report violations of their duties as licensed real estate brokerage.
