This is great in terms of paying off your HELOC but not great for actually securing the refinance loan.

I know someone who promised their buyer a move in date of late August.....their buyer is now hoping for sometime in January.

I've reached out to about 50,000 contacts during this period but a few potential sellers a came across seem to already have realtors.My current approach involves using Deal Machine to identify potential properties by zip code, focusing on those with unknown sale dates or built dates before 2000.

I know there probably isn't anything we can do but we've actually considered bankruptcy.

You’d be shocked by how little actual screening many PMC’s do!

Hi Duane, we actually have a solution for that.

In addition, once you get a viable plan in place, you may consider running the strategy by an actual tax attorney rather than a CPA.

I notice a few comments from out of state lenders/brokers that are referencing what seems like the property taxes and/or transfer taxes, not mortgage recording tax.In NYC transactions, property taxes are pro-rated and sellers + buyers pay for the portion they're responsible for (depending on the calendar schedule of the county + closing date). 

I currently use Propstream but have found that their data is stale in many cases, specifically regarding last sale dates and properties listed as in foreclosure that no longer are.  

Our last vacancy actually took weeks longer to rent out than expected, but it was late summer/fall and it was advertised significantly higher than previous long-term tenant had been paying.
