(Of course any remaining rent will be given to you at closing.) this way the seller isn’t losing money while and if you fail to close.

We've been trying to buy a house for a while (just for ourselves) but keep losing out to others.

   (2 years 8 months as a rental) I decided to sell the house in Feb 2021 knowing that I only had 4 more months as a rental before losing my Capital gains exclusionI put the house on the market for sale and MOVED back into it as my primary Home Feb 1st 2021

, I haven't had a single buyer lose out on the house over appraisal delays (knock on wood). 

If I were you I would not take anyone's money, there's a good chance you'll lose some or all of it. 

Hello everyone,I’ve tried getting conventional financing, but my DTI is to high due to me taking a lose on my rental property last year.

It was also money that I wanted to use to rehab the unit that I am staying in, and also as a buffer if I lose my main source of income.

Will I lose out on some of the tax benefits?

I lose my deposit and that’s it?

In this case, based on the owner saying he didn't care about the house and just wanted to walk away and lose it, my theory is that the couple who owned the LLC that ended up buying it explained the procedure to him and they worked together to negotiate the short sale.
