another vote for andrew's suvgestion, ask for extension and deliver all units vacant.Typical seller shenanigans, i like to call this market "turd flush time" cause most of the stuff out there are the poor performers, junk, that others need to get rid of!

I have a meeting with a seller this Saturday.

Get a peat inspection and make th seller pay to tent the house if temites are found

I know the seller is a little squeamish and just wants to close quickly and FHA tends to take longer they are more strict about the properties condition (chipping paint etc) and I do not want to scare him away. 

It's the same for both finding deals and for finding clients (buyers / sellers).  

Bringing a buyer and seller together without a license is illegal. 

I hear it is a sellers market. would it be hard to get a deal right now?

The funds will be deducted from what you pay and the closing attorney will  cut the checks to all vendors/lean holders/ ect. with the balance going to seller

Hopefully, its market favors sellers over buyers in that area you are looking at investing in.
