Fair enough. Just haven't really had a pleasant renting experience ever and that's clearly affecting my judgement. Also walking away with $30k after 2.5 years as opposed to having someone repaint their rental on my dime, makes it really hard to want do anything else. You really only get burned owning by putting yourself in a situation where you have to sell fast.
It's working itself out. My new agent actually seems interested in working for me and not just the sell. Talked with Statefarm and they'd cover everything should the pipes leak at any point so that's good to know. Should be getting the quote back today or tomorrow. The sellers did offer a home warranty as well. My main concern was having to wait a month or 2 to get the job done and getting caught with my pants down. That's looking like a very unlikely scenario all around.
It's just been so frustrating that I have to talk to one person, to talk to another, to talk the sellers. Especially when both of the middlemen seem to be clueless and against me. Due diligence period is up on the 12th so it won't be long before the cards are on the table. I'm just ignoring both agents for now, getting professional opinions and will come at the sellers with a couple options. Anything else going on right now is just noise. They need to sell or they're homeless, I highly doubt they're walking over a couple thousand.
