@Maya S.In representing both lenders and borrowers, I’ve seen some solutions other than tenant signing an extension prior to closing.

I will deff keep you posted as soon as I close on a property !

Make sure you have enough saved up not only for the down payment but also closing cost, plus some reserve in bank accounts or in other investment accounts!

I actually close on most of my land deals; however, I do represent some local flippers in the areas so the strategy doesn't shift.

As some background, I'm looking for turnkey or close to it and would be using a management company since I have a busy full time job. 

You may not know what you want until you try it but one thing is for sure you just need to get started. as Account Closed has said, the BRRR strategy is a LOT of work.

Then the day before we were supposed to close they asked for another 3 week extension.

The most I would see is using is $50k and we would convert that to HELOAN after closing on the next house and aim to pay that off in a year or so (ASAP).

The one challange is maintaining the exterior, of the home being so close to a school it gets beat up.

Allegheny county (which is the County the actual city is in) has actually closed their voucher program to new recipients and are supposedly backed up on a 2 year+ waitlist to process what is in the queue.
