I suggest you let the sellers know the IRS is slow on the transcripts and they should give you some breathing room.

.- Live and breathe the comps- Know what stuff UNRENOVATED and RENOVATED sells for per square foot- Know your DAYS ON MARKET- Know the types of rehabs your competition is doing, LEARN what those types or rehabs COSTSStarting out it's hard to know the difference between a GOOD deal and a BAD deal, but if you know your buy and sell numbers along with your rehab costs you can SMELL a deal a mile away and more importantly you can evaluate the deals agents / wholesalers send you and also make accurate offers on direct to seller and MLS deals you dig up yourself.

I'm not an attorney, never was, never will be, but I've been in various businesses longer than many newbies have been breathing or before some experts got out of grade school, just claiming experience in my real world.

I eat, sleep and breath real estate, I look forward to building a business relationship with other members of BP.

Should I use hard money to give breathing room?

We just stick to the numbers, take a few deep breaths, and let other investors buy it. 

🙄"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.

Take a deep breath and look at the numbers. 

Thus by the commonly understood sense of the word you cannot steal title to my property by forging my signature on a deed and I won't hold my breath waiting for someone to come up with a convincing rebuttal.I don't consider myself hung up on terminology but I do, not to be trite, strive to say what I mean and mean what I say.My opinion on the possibility and effect of home title theft, deed theft or whatever you choose to call is based on experience and not internet stories. 

Just gives me more breathing room since this is my first one.Insurance is an accurate quote from my State Farm insurer.
