It sounds like to me they have verbally accepted another offer and are ironing out the details of the contract, like dates for closing, inspections etc.

@Ned Carey Do you know if the county office would provide the deadline date or is that privileged info?

Oh- Also, I tried putting off the closing date for this property until July, however, since it is a short sale at the end of its life, the bank states it will go into foreclosure if we don't close before the end of June.

I walked the outside of the outdated property and snapped some pics, rolled some numbers in my head around:Mid-range ARV around 400knew doors and windows throughout, 15k including entries for good stuff (I know that's high, better to err on the side of caution)fresh paint in/out at $5 per sf for good stuff, call it 9kflooring throughout, 6.2k at $3.50 a sf2 bathrooms, 15k kitchen 20k including appliancesso about 55-60, plus some extra for unforseen and pool, so 65-70k, leaving me an offer of 200-230ishI'm sitting in this driveway for a solid 45 minutes taking notes, running numbers, pulling title info & last sale price/date (Chicago Title mobile app), etc.  

So Jake (or anyone else) if it takes around 30 days to close is the 2 years PURCHASE DATE to title CLOSING date?

I've been happy with both of the equity platforms I've invested w/to date and they are each set up differently. 

Yes, I price match my groceries (using apps that do the leg work for me)...but why more people aren't economical about their personal lives is beyond me.

It's kinda like dating...at some point you have to try to kiss the girl...you can never be 100% sure what her reaction will be but you can be 100% sure that if you never try you will remain frustrated. 

I learned about this forum on my podcasts app and joined today after several weeks of listening to the BP show.

We were able to push back the closing date and just pushed my final walk-through to make sure the house didn't get damaged and if the seller caused damage then they would pay for damages or I would have the right to back out of the deal.
