You should also put a penalty clause of $100 a day or more for every day past the deadline.

A rep had stated I went past the deadline and they didnt honor it.

Maybe implement deadlines with a draw schedule.- Past history with the township their working in.

However, the tenants in one of the units have not paid rent for the last two months and the current owner has served an eviction notice prior to the transaction with a move-out deadline in three weeks.  

Was wondering how the process has gone for you trying to beat that sheriff sale deadline.  

There is more to selling the property than looking at a few comps.If you move forward with it w/o an agent, make sure you understand the "appraisal" dates and deadline under line 87 (section 3.1) in the Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate, as that leaves the buyer a resolution or possible out if the appraisal comes in under ask price.Have the sellers share the comps they used to price it.Have the sellers pay for an appraisal before going under contract. 

As I am also looking for a rental to fall back on incase we don't find a place to purchase before our moving deadline, it's crazy what the rents are all over the south shore and southeastern MA.Unfortunately, the home inspection didn't go as well as we'd hoped and the house needs structural repairs. 

Of course, since this will be our first hack at this, i'm sure we will run into many obstacles that will delay our deadlines.

Last month I set a few short term goals for myself including going to some networking meetings--the meeting I attempted to attend on the deadline of my goal was cancelled.
