Excel may work

Get a lender, enter into contract, close escrow, enjoy your new home. if you have less than 30 days, you would need the seller's cooperation to contact the foreclosing entity to see if they will postpone to give you time to close the deal. it's not guaranteed and the lender is under no obligation to do so but if everyone wins (seller sells, lender gets paid off in full, you get a home), most lenders will provide a small window of time to get it done.

We also have lots of clients finding wins with ADUs and multi unit properties with house hacking.

This house is close to the beach so it’s been a win since we get to spend time down there. 

Slow and steady still wins the race. 

If you have the ability to house hack 3-5 properties in the span of 5 years, that's an excellent way of building wealth!

I use excel and the county websites to easily lookup properties. 

I had a co-worker win won that lived 30 minutes away from her home campus but it was within the school district.  

more info: At this point I'm satisfied with all other aspects of the application and credit/background check came back clean and excellent.
