Does this sleep deprived late night scramble seem logical ?

We had to scramble to find another renter, and we even offered a full fumigation despite the financial burden to put their concerns at ease.

But because the deadline is next week it is impossible to find anyone who could do or go through your taxes, so I'm scrambling to prep everything myself in the best way possible given the circumstances.

I guess if fix and flip to generate cash.. then  product procurement would be goal number one .. funding before everything else make sure you have your money lined up . no reason to go shopping if your scrambling for dough.   

In my honest opinion this team should be in place before you find a deal, that way you are not left scrambling and settling for only the help you can find in the moment.

And my clients have to scramble (usually then choosing to talk with one of the local lenders I told them about) and we get to closing....they're stressed out, and I'm like "local lenders have a brick and mortar office you can go to, sit and talk with them eye to eye, and they have a track record with my past clients"...local lenders most always out-perform the large national lenders that advertise how great they are.Often, people will end up refinancing after 1-5 years anyway, so the absolute lowest rate is often a moot point.  

If not, I have a bigger chunk set aside for less of a scramble. 

This means they are constantly scrambling trying to find that 1 in 100 buyer who is ready to go.

No biggie, but the second buyers walked when they saw the HUD statement, realizing they were paying too much, so my buyer was scrambling to find new buyer.He refused to cancel contract even to get his deposit back and several days later attorney wrote letter threatening to sue to compel enforcement of contract, which they did after changing title companies.

I know typically with courthouse auctions it is a very quick turnaround (maybe 24 hours) from when your offer gets accepted to when the payment is due and you close so you will have to be comfortable with the added risk of not being able to do much due diligence, or will have to scramble to quickly verify you are buying a clean title and to produce the cash for purchase if you don't have it already liquid.
