So we started chipping away at every obstacle.It took about 6 months but we did end up overcoming all of it.

It is a hard pill to swallow that you will be hungry sometimes, you will be tired sometimes, you will live in discomfort, you will struggle and you will achieve only in adversity. 

What are you doing to overcome it right now?

If you are risk adverse real estate, (especially out of state) is not for you.

This shows that your serious, it helps overcome objections and it may make those conversations easier.

As long as the lender/buyer are vetted and/or a backup offer is locked in the financing contingency doesnt seem like a huge hurdle to overcome.

Now, if your loan is in process and you're going along as pretty as you please and the underwriter finds something is not right or the loan falls outside their guidelines, the underwriter can issue an adverse action action lender and kill it. 

I really hope this doesn't pass, this will only adversely affects rental housing availability.

Not a doomsday guy, but cyclically and historically speaking, we were bound to have to face some type of adversity after having the longest bull market ever.

Hopefully the ones adversely affected are the ones that voted for it.
