Am i really liable for this payment?

I’d ask the current owners to carry back a mortgage, say you make a down payment and agree to pay them 5 or 6%.

The mortgage payment is based on the interest rate and term. 

What if they lose the EMD because they don’t have a valid cancellation reason,  or they miss a deadline or miss a line that says all EMD is non-refundable.

At 51 years old, I am getting a late start in real estate, but I know I can make it work.I am still in the learning phase as I save money for my first down payment.

@Vicente HernandezReal estate agents tend to prefer property management firms that have clear payment plans, fair commission rates, an easy referral system, prompt payments, assistance and tools, and a good standing.

To have your activity qualify as material participation, you must meet one of the following tests:-Work more than 500 hours in the activity (a married couple can count the involvement of both spouses to meet this test)-Do substantially all the work in the activity-Work more than 100 hours in the activity, and no one else worked more than the taxpayer (including non-owners or employees)-The activity is a significant participation activity and your total time in all significant participation activities exceeds 500 hours-You materially participated in the activity in any five of the prior ten years-You materially participated in a personal service activity for any three prior years-Based on all facts and circumstances, you participate for more than 100 hours in the activity on a regular, continuous or substantial basis during the yearPractically speaking, this means you’re doing the work on your rental properties rather than hiring a property manager.
