You don't want to forfeit your ownership if you are unable to refinance by X date.

I looked up what a cancelled status on the MLS means and one article states: "a cancelled listing is completely terminated on the agreed upon date and time between the seller and the listingagent/broker." 

You can check your state landlord tenant laws,, but if you choose to remove the unit from rental availability you then would have no course of action to recover lost rent up to the date you stop advertising that it is for rent..You can't just choose a length of time you think they should be responsible for if you take the property off the rental market.So your chances of getting a dime from them is like POOF.. not much.

Ideally I would like to go ahead and get it under contract and sell it to an investor with a provision in the contract that the owner maintains possession of the property until a specific date.

I'm too nice for this job and cannot see myself demanding for a tenants payment if they request to pay a couple days over the due date.

So I just noticed my neighbors house just got a date set to be sold.

I'm only child very small family so this is like the biggest life project to date.

I used listsource since it's what all my sources(from books to youtube) recommended.I am currently trying to find pre-foreclosures and tax lien preforeclosures leads using listsource and what I am finding in my market is when I search for properties in my target zip codes (sfr, duplex, triplex, quad) and then select pre-forclosure from the property tab select pre-forclosure my results drop to 0 :/I broadened my search to include all of the Minneapolis areas and I get just 248when I go to the foreclosure tab and select pending auction sale( i was instructed via youtube this is where I'd get people whose houses are headed to tax lien foreclosure but the date of the auction hasn't been set) and set it even a yr out my results are zero!

There were some last minute issues that popped up on the bank's side, which we are working through, but it has delayed my expected closing date.

I'm sending sales comps to my clients and when they open the message, they see on the left hand side: sent date (see yellow highlight in picture below).
