One thing was the roof needed patched. We got an extra week extension to fix the list but today we got another call from the insurance company saying the extension was denied by the higher ups and the roof needed replaced!! Apparently when the lady called to get the policy, they asked the condition of the roof and she said it was perfectly fine but they have pictures of the roof and are saying she basically lied about the condition and it needs replaced. By tomorrow!! They said they would call her and they think she isn't doing us right about it. We called her about it today and she was supposed to call them and get back with us but we haven't heard back. We've only been there less than 6 weeks and we want to just walk away from this whole deal and cut our losses with the down payment and just give her the house back and take us off the whole agreement since nothing is in our name except for that. What rights do we have in this situation?? Does she owe our money back? And can we just walk away from this? Especially since she is the reason insurance is being dropped. And the agreement states we have to keep the insurance policy that she gets.

This is a great example of why people should never enter into these agreements; you're better off renting if you can't buy a house through a real bank. Depending on the papers you signed, you might be up Schitt's Creek without a paddle. Get a lawyer.
