    Any mum & dad investors?

    UPDATE: Reading back on this thread it seems like so long ago. Well, we did end up selling the house, the agent ended up halving his fee and apologized for being unprofessional. The couple who bought the house are middle aged investors who just want to sit on this place until retirement &...

    When taking a house off the market 9 days before the contract expires is it better to decline any offers and just wait out the contract? What fees would i have to pay if the contract expires?

    Any mum & dad investors?

    Yes it is the first offer which makes it even harder for us as 3hrs ago we thought selling our home was the right thing to do. We didnt put it on the market because of our debt we put it on the market to get into property investing. Thinking if we could pay out our bad debt at the same time...

    We wouldnt be able to rent out the house the repayments are $425pw and rent would only fetch $350pw.
