The connection between the furnace/water heater and the flue liner was incorrect and the correct parts are unavailable, so we have to do a new flue liner.

However her Property manager is telling people that the home is unavailable until December 23rd (it could be ready in about 2 days from now), and he called my mom today and told her that he has an approved applicant, but if she doesn't pay the two months rent then he will "send them elsewhere" and reject future applicants, forcing her to pay the two month's rent because the home is unrented. 

I then contacted my agent to reconfirm that he was telling me they were unavailable and we should go look at the list he sent.

It's a little pricey, but with that brings a higher rent, plus I don't have to do it again down the road if I do a full upgrade Also agree with changing all lights to LED (only use CFL now if LED is unavailable).

And congrads on getting your license, I just got mine myself and its already opening a lot of doors that were unavailable before.

It seems like many units in my area have been blocked as unavailable for May, but there are still many that show as available with no mention of restrictions. 

Financing - if I am unavailable to get financing at acceptable terms within a certain time period, I can back out of the contract and not lose my earnest money (This is whay a strong pre-approval letter is important in financed offers).There are other contingencies that are less common, but still used occasionally such as an appraisal contingency (if the house doesn't appraise, I can back out and keep my earnest money) and sale of another property (I'm offering to buy your house, but I have to sell mine first).If you google "real estate contract contingencies", I'm sure you can find many more.Bottom line - you should not be making offers under the assumption that "MOST of the time you get your earnest money back if you back out of a deal". 

Make sure you can afford it.Your posting appears to say you have near 0 equity which would make a HELOC unavailable until you have built up some equity.I don't see how you would be limited in the future beyond a need for cash and equity in your next deal which we all have.Jim.

I don’t have that option when I click on your name it says unavailable
