I don't have a stat on avg DOM, and honestly, that varies greatly by area and price range in Houston anyways, but in the $175K and under range, they can go as quick as 3-7 days, but usually are gone for sure by 21 days.Just my experience, so don't shoot the messenger :)

Your agent should be honest and tell you because you shouldn't be responsible for the entire 3%. 

Just call your  Landlord and be honest tell her you will not be able to get a cosigner by Friday this month or next.

I have the confidence now to make everything explode for me and the cool, honest people that I partner with. 

We had a situation where the keys I was given at closing did not work in the door to one of the apartments- I honestly believe the PM company just gave me an old key and not the current one. 

Hi All,The situation is this, I have done some digging already and found that the note debtor that I'm in contact with has more assets than they are disclosing when asked to produce profit and loss, w2, tax filing etc...

Honestly, I'd keep it if I could, but it's a cash deal that needs to close pretty quickly and my cash is already tied up in my other property.

Honestly, this deal fell into my lap( Parent's landlord for 20+ years) so it was not like I was actively looking and analyzing deals.Now that I have some equity, I'm looking to cash out and keep the momentum going.

Which honestly, we've had the money sitting in a checking account for a while as we wait for a deal.

Great question and honestly the reason I am answering is because it seems like you have thought this out and done some of your own research.
