Now, you can try to strike that language (or use an addendum, to make it assignable) but any Realtor or agent - myself included - is going to look at that cross-eyed because that's pretty much stating you are not the ultimate end buyer.  

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hopefully one day our paths cross and I can help you expand your marketing machine.I wish you all the best and your philosophy of helping others in order to get where you want to go is spot one.

Cross off Chicago and other markets with tough foreclosure laws.What about huge tax bills?

Stand firm, do not lower the rent, remove the disposal and cross your fingers they move.

If a t was not crossed or an i not dotted it could be trouble.  

That said, most of the work I did was demo and haul away, I did not start installing any expensive materials until close and as such, had very minimal risk and saved some holding costs.Dot your i's and cross your t's, make sure you gave accounted for everything and then if the reward is worth the risk, proceed, if not, simply wait.

The thought has crossed my mind.

I notice you are a CPA, are you a cross border specialist or a general CPA? 

I'm assuming I do not want to replace the whole driveway, but thoughts that have crossed my mind are: replacing a portion of the concrete towards the top of the driveway, trying to patch it, do nothing.
