Thank you @Teri Feeney Styers and @Ryan Murdock , today I found out that the seller does not have insurance on this property (believe it or not) and it looks like they are taking the property off market and returning the earnest money. 

It is really a bummer after working so hard at this property, it is now no longer in play.

@Account Closed is an older building and I wonder if it has anything to do with it. I still do not have the details about what happened. I am waiting on those in order to better access the situation. thank you for all your helpful feedback on this subject!

I was just notified that the property that I was prepared to close on three days from today caught fire. It was a cash deal also... My contractor gave me the head's up today. It looks like I may have dodged a bullet, I am not sure; I will have more details on this tomorrow. 

Question for my BP family... Is there a possibility to get reimbursed for closing costs or anything of the kind, or would I just eat all the costs and be glad that this fire did not happen while I was the owner? 

This seems to have been a fire that stated in one of the kitchens, likely by a tenant. I am not sure yet, so, let's just make this a hypothetical assumption for now. I am curious... If the fire is the fault of the tenant is the owner (and the owner's insurance) still 100% responsible for all damages (in general) and repairs because it is the owner's property? 

I am disappointed in this loss, but also a little relieved at the same time...

Does anyone else want to share a story like this one?
