Real estate sales have been ridiculous in Vancouver Canada but not as extreme as the states. A house that I have built with an approximate cost of 900k was originally to be sold at 1.2 million. It had a small deposit (My mistake) which the buyer walked away from. Fast forward to now and I have someone that has been eying the house since it was on sale for 1.2 million. He offered me 900k and I accepted. He wrote me a check for a deposit with financing being the only restriction. He then came back to me 2 weeks later saying he can't get financing for 900k. Another 2 weeks go by and yesterday he asks me to sell it to him for 800k no restrictions 100k deposit. What should I do?

I can keep the house because I listed the house for rent a few weeks ago and have found new tenants for it for $3300 a month plus they pay utilities etc. What would be the logical thing to do here? Should I hold on a few more years collect the 3300 a month and then sell or take a 100k hit and sell now? I was on the verge of losing everything at one point and took decent hits to rid myself of some things that I knew had no chance in hell of making me money and the rent was too low. I am comfortable holding or selling. the mortgage on the house is easily taken care of by the rent plus some in my pocket.
