““The provision in question here, conditioning the sale upon the availability of a $10,000.00 loan, was placed in the contract for the benefit of the purchasers. The sellers cannot take advantage of that condition to defeat the sale if the purchasers elect to waive it and proceed with their purchase according to the other terms of the agreement.” 571 S.W.2d 372 at 375 .”
