@Collin Luckett what your touching on for changing of buyer during pending is not a viable direction. 

On the other hand, you might find a common reason that a few of your potential investors are not investing that might change your own thoughts on the deal.

I have actually changed directions with my investing since I posted that a year ago.

That means their pricing tool is designed to price beneath the rest of the market, which drags the entire market down, especially when combined with their algorithm changes a couple years ago that made pricing (IE lower prices) the #1 factor in ranking.Even if you use an external pricing tool, it gets dragged down by the people using Airbnb's pricing. 

Also your plans may change during the next 3-4 years while you’re in school so sitting tight and building your nest egg may be the best bet until you graduate.

If the seller isn't responsive, then do like the idea of telling the tenant you tried, and see if they can get some free legal assistance from a tenant resource center.It is a good reminder as closing approaches to ask the seller to keep tenants updated on the pending sale and when ownership is scheduled to change.

Bankruptcy will affect your ability to borrow for a long time and unless you know why you got in that position and change that behaviour, you aren't going to be any further ahead.If you think you can save $60K in 5-6 years, you can also pay off that debt in a year and then take the next few years to start saving for the down payment. 

This habit alone changed the game for me—I no longer have a mountain of data entry in March. 

Omar has there been any recent changes with this? 

This will likely change through your real estate journey, but I always recommend starting with something in mind.
