With a foreclosure, budget in an amount to bring back up to speed, and you can probably bump your CapEx down by half.3.

Next: if you can back up your offer with rationale, you should feel free to make any offers you want.

After our helpful movers and my cleaning lady left, I attempted to light all of the electric stove burners (stove was harvest gold, most likely from the 1970's). 

Another way to go about it would be to put language in your contract with the new buyer that his contract is a backup contract and is subject to the first buyer not performing on the 26th. 

Then have the warranty company fix the broken one and you can have that fridge as a backup for a different unit.

The markets I have invested in are drivable tourism driven markets (think beach and mountain towns), and while of course we got hit hard with Covid cancellations, these types of markets are so dependent on tourism that they have been some of the first to get things opening back up (I’m in one TN market and the FL panhandle), and bookings are steadily rolling back in.
