If someone lived in an old house or in a bad neighborhood, I could see enticing them to sell to you, and getting in to contingency on a new buy.

So, I am in escrow and all contingencies is expired.

Note: Wholesale transaction - ATLI wrote a contingency in the purchase agreement that several thousands of dollars will be held in escrow until the current tenant has moved out, which will both agreed would be 15 calendar days post closing  I later found out that this is not possible because notice to vacate was just given and current tenants have at least 60 days before a eviction process can be started. 

And most foreclosures only allow cash offers, so unless your offer was contingent on financing, you can't request the return of EMD, for financing falling through.

Finding a good LTR often times seems contingent on finding a great off-market deal.

The terms of the auction sale agreement is not contingent on financing.

Just make the offer contingent on your inspection.

Typically a seller cannot terminate unless the buyer fails to perform somewhere along the way, but there are many deadlines and contingencies in a standard contract that you need to keep your eye on as a buyer to ensure you comply. 

The market here is crazy every house has multiple offers oftentimes cash over asking sometimes financing with absolutely no contingencies.
