Nobody knows what's gonna happen in three years from now if you consider postponing it for three more years.

I do think in the next 12-18 months we will see some more deals coming to market as the foreclosures that have been postponed for the last two years are finally coming to sheriff sale.

Also asked for holdover per the lease agreement, again totally unwilling.Reason this was big deal to me is I had e everything back in my name but didn't have possession of the property as the tenants still had the keys and needed to complete the move out.CJ Real Estate basically blamed a holiday weekend for postponing the inspection even though they had ample notice before the Holiday weekend.

If you buy a sfh you can postpone the project until it is convenient for you.

By saying I’m walking away from this offer because he’s postponed closing twice, and the realtor still having two weeks in the original listing agreement, what are my options?

The more we saved the more we needed in this market, reason why we decided to put our money to work in cheaper states, and postpone our own home.

This is perfect advice...I'd like to piggy-back on this advice and add that if you are able to do the above, also see if you can postpone the foreclosure by providing the contract with your future closing date to the judge (assuming the foreclosure auction date has been set and you even have enough time to complete the necessary probate issues AND stall the foreclosure at the same time).

The seller has the option of making the repairs before closing, to avoid higher priced replacement bids.As the new owner, a handy man might be hired for the minor repairs and the pricey work postponed, if the budget is tight. 

(according to CDC guidelines, he committed perjury) Missed the initial hearing "because he forgot"Claimed he couldn't make the postponed hearing "because he didn't have a car", even though the court was a half mile from our propertyFailed to meet the judge's requirement to make a good faith rent paymentFailed to meet the judge's requirement to apply for help making his rent paymentSo, the good news is you can still evict stupid, dishonest people (in some jurisdictions). 

I’d really like to get started now and not have to postpone my investing until after graduation in 2 years.
