Tenants do not have a choice as to what they pay and it is not negotiable.

Or church or anywhere else in the city other than your place.I would cancel this booking immediately and rethink the instant booking choice.

Finding non-traditional sources of labor is a great way to save money. 

And in my experience with that, all of the money I use for a down payment will go to cover all the expenses that one would incur during a traditional closing like escrow, lawyer fees etc.

Our broker is making it sound fairly black and white - that if they show proof of funds/financing, the Seller has no choice but to accept the first offer and move forward with them.
