I made my first offer on a fix-and-flip. The offer was made on Tues., March 9 and the deadline was set for Tues., March 16 at 5 pm. The deadline has passed and there has been no response from the bank to the banks realtor, the bank's realtor says. What options do I have.

My realtor says there is no penalty but I can pick up my earnest money any time as I don't have an obligation to follow through on it.

Does this happen often? What do you experienced people do about it?

This has been a great discussion for helping me determine to accept or not accept this sex offender applicant. I say no way. Thanks all.

Thanks Ralph S. , that is the website that I needed to see. My applicant was on it but did not appear in the specific lists like "violent offenders", etc. I wish I could see the exact circumstance and assess the seriousness of the crime. I will have to assume the worse I suppose without more info. Your link and your information has been exceptionally helpful.

I have a tenant applicant for my duplex unit that informed me that he is a registered sex offender. He says it is of the lesser variety 7 yrs. ago and it will be off his record after 10 yrs. I am not very up to date on this offense and what impact it has on renting to him.

Am I liable if there is a sex offense committed by this individual? Do I have to inform the neighborhood or will I have to inform the next door unit that I have rented to a sex offender? When I have to re-rent the next door unit will I have to inform them that there is a sex offender in that unit?

Does anyone have experience with this offense and perhaps accepting a sex offender as a tenant?
