Because of the high rates right now that may not be a terrible idea if they are willing to do a lower than standard rate.There are multiple podcast episodes that touch on seller financing (I can’t think of any off the top of my head though), I would go listen to those.

I don't know exactly where the noise is coming from but my guess would be that it's the loudest up where the wires meet the house.Maybe the wires are moving and are vibrating against the metal clasps on the wood siding to make the terribly loud vibration noises?

Because it's a lot easier to justify their own bad acts (in their mind) when they make up reasons that the other person is "wrong", than it is to look in the mirror and say, "Huh, I'm a really terrible/deadbeat person."

This would be a terrible deal and should not be purchased. 

It doesn't look terrible from the pictures.

If it's for your own personal residence I see nothing terribly wrong with it, assuming you are fiscally responsible and stable.

The terms I saw on leasing panels (you don't actually own them, a company does and they reduce your electric bill in exchange) are terrible terms.

20% is horrible,, your either priced to high, or the apt is terrible condition compared to others or you have a horrible leasing agent, or your rental criteria for income base is not within the market level of applicants.. something is off. you should with a good leasing agent be able to have 2 to 3 showings and have at least 1-2 applicants. if not, something is terrible wrong,, have a test person shop your rental as a renter, and see what's happening with how your unit is being marketed and shown.

Renting could give you "freedom" however based on my experience as a landlord a lot of landlords are terrible.

Perhaps 5 days or so.If that fails, you should - depending on how the contract was written - be able to keep the deposit.I'd put it back on the market and have the listing agent add the following to the listing: "Back on market - buyer's financing fell through"In my opinion, a property is not terribly stigmatized when that happens.As to the difference between the offer price and previous listing price, I'm not sure how the buying public would know what the offer price was.
