Say if you acquire handful of these every year; then in 10 to 15 years; you could potentially have significant income and paid off the mortgage.There are investors I know focus on 10 to 15 year payoff by contribution additional payments towards principle.

It’s linked to my bank so each months payment is registered as on lump sump which includes taxes,insurance, pmi, principle, and interest.

It was love at first sight.

If a buyer cuts you out of the deal, you will never work with them again so it is very short sighted to cut the person out who brings you the deal. 

But in principle, the answer to your question is: If the bank will lend you a deposit, take it!

Paydown the principle balance and refi before you leave.

This deal could have been massaged a number of ways, it's a shame it worked out the way it did but it's just as much the fault of the agents and principles involved as it is the structure of the solar contract.

@Mike AcriI'll second the recommendation for "Principles" by Ray Dalio.

I know it would be nice to just skip the rest of the showings, rent sight unseen and be done with it, but it may mean issues down the road.And yes, by all means, show to more people!

By sticking to the rules, you can protect your business and handle bumps in the road without losing sight of your goals.
