The sale can occur fairly quickly; the close of probate may drag on a while.

@Carly Franklin If your looking for good micro-brews and like minded real estate people, we are having a meet-up at Green Dragon on April 19th around 6:30pm.

You caught the dragon.

You are being too nice and have let this drag on too long before ripping the band aid offSince his lease expired he in on a M2M..... serve him the proper notice to terminate.....usually 30 or 60 days depending on your state etc.Get your ducks in a row to evict him if he doesn't move out after that notice.....during that "waiting period" study the steps for eviction and/or get a lawyer lined up....

They send me lease report on time and also evicted a tenant that didn't pay and didn't let it drag on. 

Chapter 13 is likely to drag on and the borrower wants to stay so they are now negotiating with their creditors for reduced payments, called a “Plan”.  

Budget a few thousand dollars extra for a cash for keys deal. ideally come to an agreement before closing so it doesn't drag on.

I did too much of the work myself, which saved money but allowed to project to drag on too long.

Certain wholesalers are a drag on the community.
