Credit is a funny predictor and I personally choose not to run credit.

I am now being asked for an additional 30k for unforeseen complications or I can choose for them to return my deposit (2500) + 20%.At 262k my cash flow would be basically zero after all expenses (rent = 2k/month) but I will start with approximately 38k in equity (home value around 300k).Shall I sign the addendum or get my cash back?
