I don't have a dedicated extension at work so I give out my google number. 

When you're aiming for a goal (freedom number, for instance), how do you balance the sacrifice of immediate comfort with not going "overboard"?

For instance, a property that is not active but with a listing may be inputted as On Hold, Do Not Show, etc.

Like Nevada does for instance .  

In this instance we were advised that we need a vacant dwelling policy until the work commences and then the policy will have to be switched to builder's risk. 

She was a little frantic about it going past the 30 days I gave her and wanted an extension in writing.Finally the check clears & she gets an appointment to bring in the cashier’s check to Sherane and sign the paperwork.

In those instances, they were sub-par applicants who didn't meet my criteria.  

(Also, did you know that Insurance companies will deny claims on vacant houses in most instances.)"

In that instance, you may have to market it at a low(er) price to get it moving, since there is so much supply.

We would wholesale the property to cash buyers.We have thought extensively about that 30 to 60 day period to move.
