It isn't clear "How" you purchased this house with the other person. Assuming you're both owners, they remain liable for half of the payments, taxes, repairs, and some utilities. Until they sign a quit claim deed to you, they remain liable to you for reimbursement of half the money you spend on the house. There is no longer information to determine if the cash offer is appropriate. But, until then, they may need to pay their $500 to you to offset housing expenses.
Good luck
