The part that scares me the most is if I sell my condo and my offer on a new SMF doesn't get accepted, I could be in limbo.

Hey there,Looking to make a home purchase with a new agent and there is a clause in the exclusivity contract.Is it common to list a "protection period" for several months after the contract ends?

It must be executed to be able to obtain FHA financing and if fha financing accepted it just comes with territory.

Also if they inform you that there is a mortgage/lien/ back taxes on the house could it still be wholesaled if they accept the offer and agree to pay off the amounts owed?

Builders are willing to accept investors if the cities are farther out of Dallas.

When did you last avail yourself of the primary residence gain exclusion? 

I was interested in multiple types of deals but this was the first offer that was accepted.

I was told recently by multiple mortgage folks in RI that unless you go with an FHA loan, they are not accepting less than 25% down on a multi, even if owner occupied. 

I'm working with a mentor that has been doing these types of deals for 35+ years but he hasn't done one this big in a while and worried we don't have enough investors to raise $5.3m before closing (once the offer is accepted).  

Should I accept the long lease or should I go for a 9-12 month instead?
