Inventory is really tight right now.

Set a scheduled deadline for me and track better the Goal from start to end of updates to home.

@Tiwana Merritt If you didn't put a deadline on your repairs addendum and it just says "prior to closing" I would suspect you would be right, they could complete the repairs just before closing and it would be fine.

A sharp seller's agent will ignore your deadline, but many won't.

Make sure your rehab budget is as tight as possible, and that you can go over budget without disturbing your own personal finances too much. 

I think the only place you get into trouble with this kind of nuanced thinking is when the time frames are exceptionally tight. 

It really comes down what's available from inventory wise (since the market is so tight) and how involved you want to be in the operations.

Zillow's house information is not accurate and you have to have the same beds, baths, and house form to even start with comps, as well as a tight radius.

If it still doesn't work then they are more tight than your WA lender.

Most of these deals are pretty tight, especially after you pay to furnish the place, but if you make a few bucks and learn a lot of lessons it may be worth it.
