Is it better to close fast or give it some time?

[Andrew Leighton]

So I am new here and I’m about to start my real estate investing venture. I am placing an all cash offer to a foreclosed VA home and my real estate agent just asked me what date I wanted to close. I live in Texas I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. But anyhow I’m not sure how much time I should put from offer acceptance to closing date. Is quicker better or should I give a couple weeks delay?
