Reason being is cash flow and speed of return to being able to build equity to refinance down the road.

I have just one on speed dial and that's cause she does our rentals. 

Your state/lease will dictate the speed you return the deposit and you'll stop charging them rent once a new tenant is in.Work within the law and you should be good to go.

This will speed up the closing.

I wish you the best in the future sir, and God speed!!!

They get paid by speed and what will pass the quality control department at the BPO mill. 

I would hold that appreciation in Philly is most directly tied to the speed with which one can get to Center City though, which is most efficiently accomplished by the MFL/BSL subways.

Won't banks that are in financial trouble want to speed up the process? 

No matter how good your coach is, you need to develop yourself too by asking good questions on RE.Joining one or two good RE Investors Association in the city you live in will also improve, and speed up your learning rate.

Mortgage Co said they are trying to speed it along [usually use 45 day lead time] and the worst that could happen is we ask for an extension.My question is this:  I have renters already lined up [my son and 3 college friends - w/parents as guarantors] but I can't draw up a lease without knowing the move in date.
