I assume that you are likely referring to the 45 and 180 calendar day deadlines. 

Almost all courthouse foreclosure auctions will require all cash to cover the purchase, and usually with a very short deadline.

You need to make sure that you are listed as a creditor on the schedules.Ultimately, you will likely get pennies on the dollar through the bankruptcy process but: 1) you need to speak with an attorney to avoid missing critical deadlines and 2) it is unlikely you will get the property back, which sounds like it may be a blessing in disguise.

Now 2.5% appreciation is a pretty safe conservative number, again 2 yrs that's another 5%, now your at 20%.Now, let's say you bought the ugly house on the block.... and let's say the seller had to sell it because of some time sensitive deadline so you getting it at list is actually a deal when most those houses go over list.

There are also other deadlines though for financing and such.

Set a deadline for the next few years to purchase another one so you can cash in on the lessons.

Waiting on my agent has cost me a few properties as I missed deadlines.

You need to make offers on two or three of each group, with short acceptance deadlines and an inspection contingency.

If he says "5 PM", I'll wait until 4 PM to send it and I'll set it to expire at 7 PM.This limit's the seller's agent's ability to contact every other buyer in the market and find someone to beat the offer.A really sharp agent in a hot seller's market will just ignore the deadline, but it often works well.

But what i have done in the past is #1 Purchase a property for a lesser value and spent the rest of the funds on repairs (within the same 181 days deadline)  #2 buy more than one property that would equal to the value or more for your 1031 (within the same deadline).
