It really helps align your interests with the realtor and get an advocate in your corner fighting for your offer to be accepted. 

Either is difficult to get a claim from, but an attorney will fight to keep their claims from E&O being paid, title insurance companies are in a different boat, still  difficult to get money out of them but they pay out millions every year.......just say'n who do you want ensuring that tings are done correctly?

I got in touch already with a local realtor and she is going to connect me to a lender, I should be receiving an answer by tomorrow, but if nothing comes up from that I will continue to fight for my goals.

Do not fight with them.

When it does affect you, you have issues getting a large number of supporters to join your fight.  

I will fight tooth and nail for every dime that Seller can get, without reasonably stopping the sale.  

It's too easy for the tenant to forget or fight back when the time comes to pay.

However, I would not fight to keep them in your property.

One of the hardest things about this plan is the urge to fight off buying a good deal when you are trying to pay off your current rental.However, be flexible enough to pivot and buy a really good deal with financing when you have the chance.There will be times when the market is hot and cold.

Why try and fight them for money when he lost his job.
