I think what you will have happen if you try and adjust to save money, would be finding unreliable people and causing you more headaches.

It might cause problems with my seller and buyer at this point.  :/ I won't be using them again though.... a shame i tell you...worst service and customer service ever...

We have to move out of our current place by March 1st, and the seller does not agree to pay for any additional cost for moving / storage / lodging due to the inconvenience the seller causing (wife staying additional 30 days).What are our options?

The things that causes people to be overwhelmed and downright confused is that began to buy into so many other people's strategy that they can't even master their own.For example I went through the same thing in the beginning they were so many different strategies out there in realestate Then I realized I'm really good at getting the properties but how?

Try not to get overwhelmed with all the BP contents and resources available - cause I am already.

The past 3 years have been spent in a call center which has caused me to be severely apathetic.

It's also immoral and will cause your left little toe to curl up in spasms. 

The reasons it is done that way are numerous, but some are "to clear title" and to meet statutory obligations set by the state.I'd want to know if there is a material "defect" in the property that caused it to not close when it was "pending".

Additionally, you have less risk of an old pipe rusting out and causing water damage down the line... there's no risk of that with central air/heat.

If I had to do that, it would not have an effect on my quality of life, wouldn't cause me to loose sleep, wouldn't be very stressful.
