The owners of the company bend over backward to push closings to the table.

I have the home under contract with offerpad and I've already had to push the closing back once because the tenants weren't able to find a new place at that time.

I'm in Ludlow, VT and found there's a zoom call tonight to go over a bunch of items, to include an update on the rental registry pending regulation. https://vtstra.org/regs My property has an accessory dwelling unit with an established long term tenant which looks like will keep me safe from future push on my STR.

So, you're way ahead of the game.
