Yeah, so the contingencies are basically a safety net and there’s three common contingencies.

We can break those down a little, but there are going to be loan appraisal and property.

So all of these contingencies, it basically says, you know, first loan contingency, if I can’t get the loan, I get back out and keep my 2%.

If the property doesn’t appraise and we can’t renegotiate to that appraised value, we can back out and keep our 3%.

Right. And then lastly, with the property contingency, if we find something weird in the documents, we’re able to back out and keep our 3%.
