I hope you can read because I do not know why my some text has a line through it. 

@Shawn Campbell  My experience with delayed financing is you will receive the same loan terms you would have if you had financed at the purchase closing. 

I just received a call from the power company stating that the lock on the gas meter has been tampered with.

So even though I want the tenants I would like to try to receive a credit at closing for me taking on his responsibility for the tenants.

Should I continue to see this through and finish the course anyway to receive the license or was this a waste of time and money?

Also, are you using anything else like text or mailers to touch these same leads?

Allowing them the non-refundable fee would be a nice gesture since they will deal with the short-term issues, but ultimately you deal with long-term issues of having a pet in your property and should receive the majority of the monthly fees.

But the biggest thing i then look for is the cash flow i receive after moving out.

You can then choose to walk away if the numbers don't work.Also, you should request/receive thorough disclosures from the seller/ seller's agent that also notes areas that need repair, or items that were recently replaced (i.e. water heater was replaced last month, etc.).
