The deal was stressful with uncooperative sellers, but we closed.Newbies, keep at it. 

How clean is the contract, can you match the seller's needs (closing quick is not always the win, some sellers need a long close or use and occupancy - your job is to find out everything the seller needs to move and match it within reason), did you explain your proof of funds or pre-approval (FHA loans are looked at the wrong way by most listing agents, when you explain it as an investment strategy and that you can pay way more and there are no FHA issues in the home it can take the stress off, but it's still not cash).

Hi @Alex Del, this is actually a fairly common problem when buying multi-family properties...there always seems to be a tenant or two that does not want to leave or cooperate easily, and it can definitely be stressful while you're Under Contract or looking to buy a property.

This saves a lot of money though is stressful because you have to front out the money for the project. 70% of most projects is materials so it really is risky.

My 2 cents on here: Don't stress out. 

Then you have the work and stress of sourcing your next job, I mean flip, and the pressure to re-invest it at your target IRR.Sounds like you have a dynamite rental depending on HOA cost and terms. 

I will spare you details like falling out of contract due to windows being inexplicably nailed shut, but for comedic relief I will highlight the pain culminating in complaints that there were random, free-roaming chickens pecking around our yard and putting off potential buyers due to a negligent neighbor.We ended up needing to take it up with the city to reign these fowls in, an action that caused the spiteful neighbor to tank a number of our other showings.The end result of all this was losing at least $30k (and probably more when it was all said and done), locking up the capital for ten months, and dealing with a two month long, stressful process of trying to sell and falling out of contract three times for various, silly reasons.

However you do risk having a heart attack because the stress is ALOT!

You also may find it more stressful to start with the contract and then looking for the financing. 

I am feeling like I am in a tough spot and am getting stressed out by all of this.
