So i'd give it back and be glad I avoided a flakey potential tenant or larger problem...And maybe look at the details and timing of your signings to prevent this in the future.

So I have been prepping myself by eliminating all my unnecessary debts, saving up as much money as possible and educating myself.

It may seem like an unnecessary cost now, but it will pay off later down the road.   

If you have to pay cash and get a loan, get a discount because you are now paying unnecessary  interest.

Unfortunately, some companies out there "profit share" or charge unnecessary fees for management or other unnecessary items.  

Question... what prevents someone from breaking contract and selling to a better offer if they have not much to lose.  

This prevents multiple submission for a particular risk with conflicting information.

Go ahead and use the money for real estate you'll make more.Also, make sure you leverage it and don't put unnecessary dead equity in the property

@Kelly G.The only thing I can think of is paying someone from a nursery to come and put some kind of special goop on the cut branches to prevent damage to the trunk.
