Are there some extenuating financial circumstances here?

Unfortunately, that doesn't get you much it seems in CT.

This isn’t my first rodeo and unfortunately this is growing worse by the day.

Unfortunately, the big fires didn't take the whole house, just enough damage to make it a big expense and insurance mess to repair, not enough to be a worthwhile claim. 

I’ve unfortunately had all these issues and one person actually holdover.

Order Phase 1 environmental study (for those who have purchased/developed commercial properties, are there any circumstances where you would forego this?).

Unfortunately, I don't have the 20% for an investment property down payment, the only way that I can do it is by buying another property as a primary residence.

Buyers loved it, got the house inspected and appraised - it appraised for my target value ($150K).Unfortunately, buyer was trying to bite off more than they can chew with a inter-state move and got cold feet and no-showed on closing date.

However given the unique circumstances we have to get hard money for 3-4 days to close adding the assigned to the note with the original contract holder.
