&#13;
There are a lot of factors that can get you out of the contract and still get you binder deposit back:&#13;
&#13;
1) Financing Contingencies - if you do not qualify for the loan amount, you can present the letter from the lender indicating so as long as you're within the time specified in the contract.&#13;
&#13;
2) Home Inspection Contingencies&#13;
&#13;
3) Appraisal&#13;
&#13;
These are not to be taken very lightly.  I appreciate your question here on Trulia, but I strongly suggest you consult your Realtor, or if you submitted the offer yourself, consult a Real Estate Attorney to explain the entire process to you.  Good luck!</description><pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2009 10:38:08 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Answer by Patrick Thies</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Elmhurst_IL-707040/</link><guid>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Elmhurst_IL-707040/</guid><description>Pat,&#13;
&#13;
It depends.  If you are still in attorney review and or the inspection contingency period, you can cancel the contract.  &#13;
&#13;
During attorney review you can cancel a contract without any questions asked.  &#13;
&#13;
If you have had your inspection done, are still in the inspection period and can't come to an agreement, you can cancel the contract. &#13;
&#13;
If you are past the contingency deadlines, you can still back out of the deal but you may loose your earnest money and could be held accountable by the sellers.</description><pubDate>Sun, 23 Aug 2009 10:26:03 -0700</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
