Hey @Josh Chamois,Most will say credit unions or local banks and while they may not be wrong, there is always your specific situation which needs to be looked at.

An option period is a specific timeframe that both parties agree to in which the buyer can terminate the contract for any reason without risking their earnest money.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue and has anyone found a good way to move these issues forward?

I am not sure what the demand looks like specifically, I would look at the rental market for that data and see if you can command the rents you need to make the deal work. 

Let me know how I can help in any specific ways =)

Looking at a sold as property want to make sure there isn’t any issue?  

I’m hoping to get specific details on this business model before making a decision to move forward and spend the money on the live 3day course ($5,000 for the course).

@Clint Wenk this is not an issue at all. 

If for whatever reason you waive the contingency, you will forfeit your ability to cancel the purchase contract if there are some serious issues with the home and will not get your EMD back.

And there's the risk that the basic package or few packages included in the overall offer might not offer enough coverage for some homes.It might be helpful to survey your community to see what everyone thinks if you are friends with any neighbors or on a platform like NextDoor or wherever your community offers a networking/communication opportunity.
