Interesting perspective to consider. 

I do not want my perspective tenants to think I am simply a suit that sits behind a desk and counts rent checks.It's all about understanding others not at all about how you feel about yourself.Just my personal opinions of course and since opinions are like A holes, as they say, and everyone already has one why would you need anyone else's.

Chris, Their perspective - what's in it for them. 

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with your wording but if you also look at it from your perspective you can get out right to the last minute, yet you also need to engage the title company, etc. to search title prior to closing.  

Thanks for perspective @Matt M.

I'm curious about the idea of a 18 year old agent from the perspective of professionals from the industry. 

From an outsider perspective, here's what I/we can see going on.You are trying to run a race where the winner gets to retire at 40 from a profession that is rapidly deteriorating.

Thanks @Ray Johnson - super helpful perspective.

If the bank decides to put it on the market then you'll have to compete with other potential buyers.Also keep in mind that an investor may already be aware of this problem property (from the bank's perspective) and might be working on making an offer to the bank as well.

I'd definitely take Scot's advice into consideration, specially since he's in the same market you're in, but also see if you can get some input from wholesalers in your area who have been able to succeed (or not) in order to get a different perspective as well.Best of luck @Joseph Mcmahon, and welcome!
