If we do not find a better alternative we will need to change accounts to SDCCU (which has a good reputation (much better than Wells Fargo which has a terrible reputation), it is just a pain to switch).So we are trying to figure out our options ideally in the next few days because if we have to switch banks there is a fair amount of work (our Property payments are all automated: mortgage, water, trash, etc. as well as we have to get the new payment method to all of our tenants that use the direct deposit).We did consider Paypal but some of our tenants are not IT literate (even though they pay a lot for rent they do not have extra money for smart phones or PCs).I will talk to my property management partners about the option of not switching banks and requiring the tenants to send money orders to the PO box. 

I only have a little bit of extra time each day because of my job, so I'd rather spend a long time on the phone with a person that sends me an offer and proof of funds, because I know they are serious.

Some people will give the Seller 30-60 days extra where that is held in escrow - but the truth is that if you are clear and up front with them when presenting the contract, it won't matter and is not necessary.Finally, the reality is that if you do proper diligence and have a reasonable feasibility period (e.g. 2-3 months is standard for any commercial property) then you will be fine. 

- Etc...For schedule:- Which parts of the project are going over schedule (permitting?

The framework was up there from me, which I realized was a mistake so I stopped building months ago to obtain a permit before continuing.

In fact, when the telephone system first introduced touch tone, he refused to pay the dollar extra it would cost him.
