Another option I thought of was getting an Auto equity loan on my 2018 Ford Fusion.

One good option is being a local airbnb cohost for a property near you.

He does not need my money in that he has other options. 

A lot of options and it depends on your goals.

Most though will have a due date in the beginning of the year such that you have the option of paying it in the prior year.

These are the options I've thought of:a.

By simply making the requirement to make vacant for closing alone with typical "time of the essence" language the buyer has the option to walk away if the seller hasn't met their obligation but can also hold the seller to the contract or work the deal further.

To sue is the only option, that gets expensive and takes months...Spoke with our attorney this morning and sent him everything.

5% down conventional financing is probably your best option but you can consider FHA as well.

Is an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) in option for your home?
