My wife and I hosted a pool party last summer at our house and Roby and Beth and their children attended.  

She didn't party or do anything to alert me that she would be trouble.

Its a tricky buz because we are stuck in between two invested parties but there is a right way to do it and you captured it well in this article!

We just put an offer in today on what would be our third property and we have done much better about hiring the right realtor, checking comps, getting quotes, and setting goals.

Have the property appraised by a neutral party and figure out what the additional value of having to schlep out of there is to you.

I can bring solid experience on the buy end, CMA, sell end, but the construction and rehab part is where my weakness is.  

Or it may just be a failure of imagination on my part.  I

just throwing it out there for a third party opinion im available here in wichita falls,  to offer opinion and advice on what to do with the property.. just lemme know   thanks

It is never advisable to give ANY lender upfront fees of any kind except for the payment of appraisal work performed by 3rd parties that are required, if any.  

The buyer has to make sure to check off either of the 3 options... option 1 says the buyer may assign and thereby be released from any further liability under this contract or option 2 may assign but not be released from liability under this contract and third option may not assign this contract.
