Though I was going to lose revenue, I did let the person go sooner.

In most cases, the buyer needs to have a plan, otherwise they will lose out and the seller will go back on market. 

I've seen it done right, but I've also seen people lose a lot investing out-of-state.

(Of course any remaining rent will be given to you at closing.) this way the seller isn’t losing money while and if you fail to close.

We've been trying to buy a house for a while (just for ourselves) but keep losing out to others.

   (2 years 8 months as a rental) I decided to sell the house in Feb 2021 knowing that I only had 4 more months as a rental before losing my Capital gains exclusionI put the house on the market for sale and MOVED back into it as my primary Home Feb 1st 2021

, I haven't had a single buyer lose out on the house over appraisal delays (knock on wood). 

If I were you I would not take anyone's money, there's a good chance you'll lose some or all of it. 

Hello everyone,I’ve tried getting conventional financing, but my DTI is to high due to me taking a lose on my rental property last year.

It was also money that I wanted to use to rehab the unit that I am staying in, and also as a buffer if I lose my main source of income.
