Unfortunately bg you are acting just like every other buyer who has been heartbroken by the market. For all the knowledge you profess to have, you are spilling yourself all over this website whining like some entitled buyer who feels like they should get the downpayment back, or get all that sweat equity back that they put into the home. Guess what?
You
are
not
entitled
to
anything.
You should have known it from the start. After all you used to be an agent correct? You have all the knowledge. You post about it daily?
Nobody…not even you has any “right” to get a single penny back of downpayment, sweat equity, or anything else you put into the home.
