For someone focused on quick flips or shorter holding periods, paying a slightly higher rate for flexibility might make more sense.

The key is finding out what the seller wants as far as terms but the majority just want a quick close with the highest price. 

Given that info, I would think it makes most sense to quickly do a delayed financing to recoup most of the initial investment, or if I am wanting to get back some of the renovations and such, I should wait the 6 months and do a DSCR cashout. 

Strategic Purchase: Acquired a discounted double lot below market value with a $17k impact fee credit.Custom Design: Built a 6-bed, 5-bath home tailored for co-living or multi-gen use, maximizing tenant appeal.Efficient Management: Managed construction, and self-managed operations to minimize costs.Premium Marketing: Furnished the property and used multiple platforms to attract quality tenants quickly, achieving full occupancy.What was the outcome?

As a realtor specializing in pre-construction, commercial, and investment properties, I’d be happy to answer any questions or help guide you through the process if you’re interested.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: I invested in a winery/wedding venue at the end of 2023 because I needed a quick tax strategy and couldn't find a property fast enough.  

If you told him you have been playing pickup games for the past year and need help improving your jump shot, now he has evidence you're motivated and a specific goal he can quickly help you work towards.

If you're competing for a hot property or need to close quickly, fast closings can make or break the deal.

So I’ll add vestmap to this list since it’s invaluable for quick location due diligence.
