Here's a couple sources on that because no other tenant in California requires that long of a notice: California Civil code Section 1954.535 https://www.attorneydavid.com/blog/terminating-section-8-tenancy-los-angeles/So do NOT miss that deadline.

The ones that can pass this step then get a copy of the lease to sign and a deadline to sign & pay (generally 48 hours).

Overseeing the loan process thoroughly and competently, meeting crucial deadlines.

If they don't, then I send notice that they failed to meet the deadline, the offer for renewal is rescinded, and I start marketing the property.

What is the difference between different intermediaries or how would you evaluate them assuming basic conditions are met (timely communication, can complete transaction within IRS deadlines and not a crook). 

It would be tough to switch lenders and hit your 5/26 deadline.

At a minimum, you need to establish a clear deadline for signing and returning the agreement.

The repayment terms for a 401k participant loan are equal monthly/quarterly payments of principal and interest (typically prime plus 1%) over a 5 year term (longer if used to acquire your principal residence).Please note that if you take a full $50,000 and then pay back the loan, you can't take another $50,000 until 12 months after the first loan was fully paid back.Per the loan offset rules that went into effect with the 2018 Tax and Job Act: if you leave your job and the loan is current at the time you leave your job but then the loan goes into default because you left your job, you will have until your tax return deadline (including any timely filed extension) to make the loan current by depositing the outstanding balance into an IRA (and thereby avoid the taxes and penalties that would otherwise apply).Alternative: Rollover Funds to A Solo 401kIf you are self-employed (i.e. active self-employment earned income separate from your w-2 income) with no full-time w-2 employees, you can set up a Solo 401k and then rollover your 401k funds once you leave your current job [NOTE: You generally can't rollover funds that you saved to your current employer plan until you quit.].You could then take a loan of up to 50% of the balance not to exceed $50,000.

I emailed my offer yesterday for $17,000 over asking cash and by the time the listing agent got back to me, she said you'd get it but now it's after the deadline and the seller isn't accepting blind offers.

The deadline to submit is today, let me know and I can look into comps for you and hopefully help you with the problem a little in the interim while you are deciding what to do with the properties.
