Those numbers would be tight and all you need is a few weeks with no tenant and any hope for profit is gone.  

It seems to me that when money is tight, people with money still vacation, though maybe closer to home.

I switched up my financing method so I am not under as tight of a deadline.

Contingency planning (stress testing and mental rehearsal).When I bought my personal residence in the 1980s, for example, my budget was tight and I forsook earthquake insurance (most Californians don't have it).

Aside from boosting my credit score and bulking my savings -- both of which take time -- I am not sure what other options are available to finance my first purchase before my self-imposed deadline of September 1. 

Have you passed your deadline for loan approval or closing and the problem is the seller won’t sign an extension to the contract?

Kate is very rude, refusing to give any deadlines for completion.

Unless you are in a tight spot you’ll get “market value” when you have the largest market bidding on it.

My bank loan doesn't provide much lead way in a tight market like this and all sellers in my price range 80k or less want cash money for their properties.

The deal is becoming really tight.
