Two things I am less confident about are: 1) the construction quality (is it a "cracker box", did the foreman let the guys cut corners to make a deadline or save a buck or simply because he was too busy) and 2) if the home in question turns out to inspect well, how how well the neighborhood is going to fare over time if it's less than 5 or 10 years old?

The funny thing is that the lender had the inspection report and appraisal for 3 weeks and waited until today the deadline to review the parameters, leaving me indication the loan would fail or for me to find another lender.

Between mortgage payments & renovation work this process isn't always viable for everyone--especially if you have to sub out a lot of the work and deal with missed deadlines and sub-par execution.Hopefully it gives you some insight, but there is 100% absolutely nothing wrong with buying turnkey.

A goal with a deadline like that will motivate one to quickly learn everything they need to accomplish it with a focus on actionable knowledge instead of lofty theory.

NOT USING AN ATTORNEY NOT WELL VERSED IN FORECLOSURE= I have seen hundreds of closings where the buyer was utilizing an attorney or settlement agent who did not understand the concept of Insurable Title, or that Time is of the essence when it comes to deadlines.

In addition to paying your rent to the landlord or the receiver, pay attention to the court deadlines, and file your papers on time.

If you miss the deadline you will have to pay a penalty for not filing and also for not paying if you owe money.

I think he missed a filing deadline by 4 days last I heard.

But you have to pay CW before their deadline, whatever it is.Usually the lenders catch the subject to sale and call the loan due.
