@Bjorn Ahlblad I’m starting to agree that I was misrepresented by my agent who was representing us both, but also trying hard to get me to back out if he deal over the weekend so the seller could take another offer before using the earnest money timing excuse (previously saying no rush and that it won’t even be cashed until close to closing anyway) to take advantage and terminate.

You're making excuses and you should be making progress. 

A lot of landlords unfortunately don't even have the deposit when the lease is up and start making excuses why it can't be returned or why its delayed. 

This protection does not apply to student loan debt and a few other types of debt.Well if it did, and individuals COULD file for bankruptcy on student loans, then creditors would no longer support education which was unlikely to result in the student speedily repaying the debt.I'm not excusing people for making decisions to take on too much student loan debt, and I'm not suggesting that we forgive all student loan debt, or let those who signed up for it already file for bankruptcy to get out of their obligations.

I won't say here how I found out if the properties were vacant, as Dunlap might use the information to spin an excuse as to why his system is accurate, when it clearly is not. 

So kinda seems they're just throwing excuses out there.

As a RE Agent - ignorance of the Law will be no excuse.

I've even considered waiting for the market to shift more towards a buyers market but thats just a silly excuse to not get started now.How did you guys get started in Real Estate?

I know it’s confusing but it really is no excuse on my part and I apologize for any miss information or or damage to the business this might of caused

No excuse for leaving that out.
