Just because you two have decided to skirt your financial responsibilities, doesn't mean that I will follow suit.

If I can't close on time I stand to lose out on the $2,500 but if it goes through I could make a potential profit of $40-50K, maybe more.  

Also, if you have advice for someone like me who is looking to increase their deal flow and eventually gain financial independence/early retirement, send it my way.

How long should you hold on to a property before selling from a financial aspect?

Repeat this process and you could surely house hack your way to financial freedom!

We would suggest working with a local community bank that can understand your overall financial picture, and structure a line of credit based upon your available equity and your ability to re-pay.

Financially it would be better to remain renting your primary residence and concentrate on purchasing investment properties.Better yet buy a multi unit and live in one unit while upgrading it to increase rents and cash flow..

Let this bubble and stand at least 5 minutes, then flush the drain clean with hot water.5.

I guess you'd need to figure out the actually standing of the agent, in what capacity does he represent the company.. why wouldn't the principals sign if they did before.. 

In order to evaluate what is best for you financially you would need to have projections on what the potential business could earn vs what you could earn strictly renting it out.
