@James Wise Thank you so much for your reply to my post.

I have an issue now because my buyer is (even though they qualify for a traditional loan) is not able to obtain a loan for this property. 

Right now in DFW cap rates range between 4.5% for brand new properties and 6.5-7% for C class that needs some work.2. 1% of the sale price is usual but many buyers offer more and make it nonrefundable from day one.3.

(i.e. taxes, insurance, maintenance, capex)If you have a lease option with 5-year window, can the owner sell that property to another buyer during that time?

(im newly licensed so any buyers out of state for jax on down, south to St Aug, reach out, if I can support) 

Wholesale it to his buyer direct and have escrow pay him a fee ( whatever you guys agree on ) I do this all the time

Any SJ buyer is factoring appreciation into their math, even if you don't.

Jim Belfiore said demand from buyers in the spring gave homebuilders the confidence to push prices upward at the most significant pace in nearly five years.

I can sell it for $159k the buyer has 10% down.

Many "foreclosure mill" firms in Pennsylvania post a lot of the information directly on their website so they don't have to bother answering questions from interested buyers.
