My offers all have about 7-10 day deadlines, and say "EM to be provided by certified funds within 48 hours of MEC".

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I have been progressively getting more and more frustrated with my lender. They have really dropped the ball on the latest mortgage. Here is the quick rundown:

It's a 3 units ($675 per u...

But the most important thing is to set even smaller goals with deadlines.

short sale holdover was served notice of vacate/quit last month dead line is 01/31/18.

The process can vary wildly based on the city, the acceptance of the project and your ability to manage and lean on professionals to hit their deadlines.

When I make offers on the weekend, I put the upcoming Friday as the acceptance deadline.

I'm guessing that's not allowed given the Chicago 60 day rule - we told them about the first increase within 60 days but now we're past that deadline (unless the rule means you have to tell them the amount increased but not that you have to specify the amount).

I can tell you there is no greater stress than finding your tenant, signing a lease and then things taking longer than anticipated and you trying to get something ready on a deadline when you really need more time after you run into problems.It is tempting to want to do this but I will never start advertising till everything is perfect and ready to go and I can take good pictures.I have had to over on work on a house till 2AM trying to get it ready for the next day.

So as the deadline to purchase approached I was looking at my options. 

Turned to be a crazy deal with tax auction deadline and then finding out it did not have 433A and the mobile home was in the previous owner's name while the land was in the current owner's name, along with multiple buyers backing out.
