It’s going to be interesting seeing the changes that are needed to regulate new companies like AIRBNB.

One month is a pretty fast turnabout on that much of an increase, unless we're talking $2k-$2300.

If you see that you are getting beat out by cash buyers you could always change your strategy.

My plans have changed slightly, we decided to purchase a 2nd property before any remodel on the current home. 

Zillow for example can change "Zestimates" by 50k or more in a single day.

Fast forward to today and I've been doing the same type of work (admin support for faculty) with a small increase in pay and a title change.

Yes, it is not legal to cancel the contract based on the new offer, but nothing stops the seller to change the closing date or whatever is in the contract (except the purchase price, of course, this attorney can not change).

Then the bank got bought and the change of address got lost in the shuffle.  

House needs serious updating that they aren't prepared, or able to pay for (maybe another bathroom, some floor plan changes to optimize space). 2.

So if you find an investor for the deal now and six months later something has changed, typically you could walk from the deal if you do not agree to an extension etc.Send me a PM as I may be interested in learning more About the deal as well
