I feel that if keep postponing my first purchase I'll regret it and lose precious time I could be learning and gaining equity!

You or better the seller could ask the law firm to postpone the sale a month while you work the deal and get it closed.   

We know people get outraged about it but for some the alternative is losing their house(Although as in this and many cases only postpones it)Reminds me of the Payday loans here in Texas.

After back and forth with the technician and 2 trips to the home, I finally have the guy fixing the A/C today on Friday. 7 days after it broke.In the meantime, the tenants have been complaining daily and I have been telling them that the technician keeps postponing his date to fix since we needed to order a part. 

You can ask the seller to call the bank and try to postpone the sale.2. 

It is generated from public county records and updated (cancellations, postponements, opening bids) using Trustee websites.I generate a weekly list (we have auctions once a week here).

I had an exterminator come out and started a treatment but could not rent the property out mid month I had to postpone till the following month.

The tenant should have been evicted by now. it would have been cheaper to contact an attorney right away rather than postponing the eviction for 5 months.
