There’s other contingencies you can use too, financing, feasibility, environmental, neighborhood review...Have your DD start the 1st business day after they provide you with all the documents, P&L sure, but also you’d want title docs, details on mechanicals like age, repair history and warranty status, insurance claim history for the last 5 years, every scrap of detail on any pending claims, zoning use confirmation from relevant govt entity, copies of all docs they have received from any govt authority related to the property for the past 5 years... there you’d be looking for code violations, notices from EPA or fire marshal, etc.  

AP and Long Branch aren’t just summer resort towns anymore.

It can be helpful to have an authority figure like your closing attorney to explain the way deals are typically done with the Seller.We've put up earnest money deposits large and small, slowly and immediately to not only closing attorneys but also directly in the Sellers' hands.
