I checked in January and no sign of weird behaviors occurring. 

This happened to occur on my one day during the week that I am working from my office (a 40 minute drive), so I could not .

So when people call for a drop in prices due to rising rates....they are stating that something thats never ever occurred in history is going to happen.

My place has been updated with LVP, 12mil wear layer so I think it will hold up to any pets having occasional accidents in the home.

A firm price is good but there are usually unknown expenses that occur on many rehab projects, which is why the Standard 203k has a 10%-20% contingency reserve added to the rehab price to cover these items. 

How many landlords actually do these things to mitigate their liabilities in the event of an accident caused by the following?

In order for it to be tortious interference, a tort would need to have occurred ("fraud, misrepresentation, intimidation, molestation"). 

@John Underwood I think it was more of an accident than anything.

It is not limited to accidents on your property.

Should you discover this offer is competitive, you can always circle back at that time, but be conscious of any rate locks or potential adjustments that may occur if you delay on moving forward while shopping other lenders.
