I was the seller & bought with cash, the buyer used a FHA loan. Just

I tried to offer anyone any advice.


So why didn't you allow the buyers to move in as tenants until escrow
closed?

I have heard that that is a bad idea, but generally a contract
provides a time limit of maybe 45 days for the buyer to get a mortgage
and close.

If the buyer couldn't close for some reason, why couldn't the seller
go find another buyer after the contract expired?
