The biggest problem is that if someone wants it we have a firm deadline to meet, and something always comes up during rehab that delays the finish date.

We went about 5 weeks over our deadline, but patience is a virtue with real estate.

They don't call when they say they are going to, they show up late, they don't follow instructions, they don't respect deadlines, etc.  

Yessiree it can be tough to get a company out right now, but the right vendors will make the time and communicate the deadlines regardless of the season. 

And there is a deadline to apply for S-corp.

Homeowners should still apply as close to the September 13th deadline as possible, so that the savings can be reflected in their 2015 real estate tax bill"

These three guys work together on a lot of jobs, and I wouldn't hesitate one bit recommending all three of them for a flip that you wanted to run smoothly without worrying about missing deadlines or racking up cost overruns. 

It puts the onus on them to get the rent from the one lazy roommate every property has. 3) I enforce deadlines and late fees.

Can you use a contract deadline date as an exit strategy? 

The agent tried to collect, alerted me, but when she doubled check the date, the deadline passed.
