If it's a month or two, just arrange for the contracted close date to come in at a year and a day and pocket the extra 2.5K.The real savings would be to stick around the house for another year - if you live in the property 2 of the last 5 years, you can avoid paying all taxes on the profit of the sale up to 500K for a married couple, 250K for a single person.Anyone else care to chime in, correct, etc?

He'll arrange necessary inspections etc.

Cost sharing arrangement = an arrangement to share costs

We know what we want our commercial arrangement to be (pretty simple).

Please complete and return the questions below and we will contact you to arrange for a viewing.

@Tony AlvineHacking is easiest done when you’re younger for exactly this reason, you’re more likely to have experienced shared living arrangements recently.

With MFH being the most ideal arrangement, like a live in one unit and rent the other duplex type. 

Sounds like there were mistakes made on all sides of the transaction other than the title company in this situation, so I believe the best option would be working with the buyer to arrange an outcome that is at least reasonable to both sides.Unfortunately in this case, this is a situation where having a highly experienced agent on your side would have prevented this from happening.

Then buy supplies, make arrangements for your repairmen to start repairs as soon as their gone, and get your craigslist ad ready to post.  

My current business partner is in a similar arrangement right now, its called house hacking.
