It seems your seller is going to have to adjust his expectations. Obviously, if you are having this problem everyone else will also.

I suggest going to your lender and asking if they will do the deal at a lower LTV ratio. Then go to the seller and ask him to carry back a second on the amount the lender would not do.

If the lender will not do the deal at all because it is a 72 then post your problem in the paper forum on this site and at www.papergame.com. I am sure a paper buyer will be willing to do a simualtaneous close on a contract that you set up with the seller then a paper buyer purchases for cash. However, because of the deep discounts on mobiles, the seller should only expect 50-60 percent cash on the sale. The balance will have to be held in paper. Also, if this last step is necessary, make sure you have a paper buyer in hand helping you structure the contract that they are willing to buy before you commit to a contract.
