For what it's worth, in IL, filing an eviction is the slowest way to get this done.

The first deal is often the slowest to finish, but time is the enemy so get finished and rented or sold asap.

Conventional bank financing will be the cheapest but also have the most hoops and paperwork to jump through and they are the slowest to fund making your offer which would be contingent upon said financing much weaker than cash offers or similar.Private money lenders would be another option along with seller financing.

For example it says November is the slowest, followed by Dec, followed by Jan, and that's been true down to the details projected.

The most expensive house on the block usually appreciates the slowest.

Terry Lao From my memory, an article I read a few months ago, Las Vegas is the second slowest market to catch up to its last peak (year 2006).

Thus begins the most drug out and slowest process of my life. a) it was a foreclosure so we had to deal with a random bank/company and b) the listing agent sells real estate as a retirement hobby so it was nearly impossible for my buying agent to ever get in touch.

The middle of the month is the slowest.

Once I found a place I asked when their slowest night was and we set the event up on that date.  

I'm from Seattle and have family in Auburn and know that it is one of the slowest growing markets, there are actually still a lot of foreclosures that have been on market for over 500 days which is a bad sign in our hot market.
