I’ve called a few and some have even said there is a two to three year waiting period citing covid + high demand + supply chain issues.

Is there a law in California that a seller is entitled to money with in a certain period of time after closing?  

The outdoor temperature during this period was around 55 degrees at coldest.   

@Andres Perez you're correct, while there is no strict waiting period for getting a HELOC, the standard is 30 to 45 days.

Jan. 7, 8, 9: 3-day period??

You provide the form and the seller/ their management company/ whoever currently communicates directly with tenants needs to have the tenants fill out the estoppels and provide to you during your due diligence period.

Reference multiple websites across a short period, such as crimemapping.com or neighborhoodscout.com.

Mike,There is no specific time period associated with taking the first steps. 

I agree with following your lease, but you can't charge someone to live there and collect rent from another tenant for the same time period.

My thoughts are that there should be ways to make the period without stairs shorter, for example, pre-assemble as much as possible and hire a dedicated team.
