However, if the seller as a clause in their contract to allow to sell while under contract, then you have the green light!!  

Any advice or suggestions on these matters would be much appreciated, as I am very green when it comes to real estate investing.

I am still of course very green, but I've finally got a great deal on my plate, I don't want to let it slip away. 

Thank you for the tip @Grant Greene

In the FL FAR-BAR contract you have 3 days to cancel from the date you receive this information from the seller.

I’m not sure what I can bring to the table currently considering my ‘green-ness’ to the real estate industry, but if anyone wants to talk about e-commerce or energy investing, I have a bit more experience that I can bring.

Contrast this--if someone who didn't pass the bar hangs a shingle and starts representing people in court (and believe me, it happens!)

I met one at a restaurant, gym, bar, and hospital.

I read @David Greene book on investing out of state and it gave me the confidence to take action.

You'll be doing this remotely... so I may also consider purchasing the book on long distance investing by David Greene from BiggerPockets which is a good overview
