Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

Re: 3 day cooling off period

Unless there is a 3 day period in the contract (and there probably is not)you are obligated to go through with the contract once the financing contingency is met.

There is no such thing in Florida for a 3 day cooling off period except for door to door sales. If the contingency for financing was met, you are obligated under the Contract. If you fail to close, you may lose your deposit in addition to whatever other penalties the agreement provides.
