Unfortunately it's now Friday night so I can't reach them until Monday morning. 

So this morning I was able to make a deal with an investor using the advice given by @Zach Mitchell.

I work evenings to will not  be able to advance the project further until tomorrow morning.  

Thanks again  Hey Jared, Your picture looked fine to me on the computer this morning.

Well inspection done this morning, but per contract was supposed to be done 3 weeks ago, buyers responsibility.  

At the moment, our capital is sitting in a low-risk, readily liquid investment which is returning a 5.2% ... or it is sitting in USD money market fund earning squat (I just exchanged a lump this morning and made 22.5% thanks to our oil contaminated Loonie).As such, when we analyse any "deal" that comes our way, the opportunity cost of that capital is a minimum of 5.2% ... when you adjust for risk, etc. we end-up with a hurdle rate in the range of 6 - 9%.  

I have started in Dallas, Texas, and I want to know what did some individuals do when it came down to the earnest money.

I'm meeting with the condo owner this morning and want to be fully prepared to make the right decision.

What a lovely Thursday morning...I am under contract on a house in Littleton.Co.  

I am in Dallas and they are pretty much prohibited by city code in SFR zoning.
