Most homes fail the 1% rule here, and the decent ones seem to get swept up by cash buyers almost immediately (I've already lost 5 bids on duplexes this past week).I don't know if it's the corona virus scare, but one of my offers finally got accepted.

1031 Exchange - you can 1031 exchange into another like kind property (virtually any piece of real estate including land) in which your taxes on the property are deferred to when you finally sell without exchanging (or gift to your family - in which case you nor they every pay taxes on it).

Hi All,After years of following BP, I finally pulled the trigger and bought a duplex that I was planning to house hack. 

Finally, do use a tank contractor to investigate a home UST but instead an environmental consultant who understands the UST rules and regulations of the particular state.I have a number of articles about cases involving home heating tanks on my website: www.environmental-law.net if you want more info.

If you’re confident in the current price, you could hold at the price you agreed to and tell the buyer to come out of pocket for the rest (if they’re willing/able).Or, if they’re not willing, cancel the agreement and sell to another buyer at the original/higher price (assuming you have a buyer willing to pay it).Or finally, agree to come down on your price to make the sale happen with the current buyer.
