@Eric Carr Another possibility is to start taking $ out of your 401k (or equivalent) at 59.5 an amount somewhat close to your RMD.

Hello,So, we put this property under contract with a wholesaler, after a month, the contract expire today, and we can not close this deal, because the sellers have been unresponsive to the wholesaler. the wholesaler asked me if I wanted to extend the contract, but these guys trying to contact the sellers for the last two weeks now, and no response.What do you think we should do in this situation?

I was able to offer quick closing to help the seller out in offloading the property.

My concern is, even though I am obligated to honor his lease until the end of June (estimated closing is June 15th), I don't know anything about him beyond his name.

Drive a 2009 car that is paid off.I'm taking this next year to rent in Chicago (rent is about 1600/month) but am starting to seriously think about house-hacking and want to start talking numbers now so that I might be ready to close about a year or so from now. 

Double closing and EMD are my goals right now.

Many of the property managers talk to each other and compare notes and share marketing ideas and 'run comps' on each other.The other option would be the 'enemy method' to search for similar size home within your community and others close by with similar amenities and scour their calendars. 

Have you closed yet? 

Kensington is a great area—very trendy and close to the restaurant district off Colley Ave.

The second best comp closed end of 2022 for $830k, 3 months after being listed and a price reduction of 40k.
