If you don't put a contingency on the deal, the buyer keeps your EM if you don't close, assuming there are no other contingencies you can exercise.

The air is cleaner, crime is lower, and I am still within a good commuting distance of my job downtown, for when I need to return physically to the workplace.

Business is a collection of other fields of study, economics, anthropology, psychology, math, biology, physics, ect.

Because of that investors here in general are focusing on getting more bang for their buck with multi-family properties with higher rent potential.It's a pretty basic explanation, but it seems like we're in a textbook economics supply and demand exercise. 

Although this is not the best Cost approach, it is definitely the best Risk mitigation approach.This was a really fun exercise for me. 

You also want to match up the VIN that is physically on the home with the title you’re being given. 

Fear is a perfectly natural emotional reaction to anything New and Big and Important and comes with Risk.Give your rational mind some exercise.

We've already set the rental price so I guess this is more an exercise for my peace of mind.Thanks,Dan

I live in CA and I purchased a property in Jan 2021 in Georgetown TX, we could not go physically to check it out, it was a cash buy and there was an inspection done and no appraisal was required.

I would make sure you include a physical deterrent that is designed with routine condenser maintenance in mind like an AC-Guard.
