Hang tight for now.

Deal flow is tight, but a good deal will pop up when you least expect it if you keep pounding the pavement and networking like you’re doing so just be prepared when the right deal comes along.

So if you are in contract for 30-60 days there is no way you will meet your deadline.

However, I know Dallas has a 30 day policy to register car into the state and it would put me in a tight schedule to find a house in 3 months.

I would avoid areas with no regulation unless you find a hidden gem.There are still many gems out there specialy in tightly restricted markets.  6 months ago we missed on a property that went up for sale. 

Buy-downs are great when buyers are very tight on there DTI.

Double-tapped breakers, all dishwashers did not function at all, multiple sinks and faucets actively leaked, Improperly installed flooring that had buckled, very high humidity in one units was causing moisture damage, furnaces full of drywall dust, radon systems that were not air-tight in the sump pit, and the list goes on and on.I listed just a few of what would ultimately be the longest repair request I've drafted in my career.  

It also was not as tight to get a loan as it is now.

Third, you never make offers without deadlines.

It's a 2 car driveway but it will be very tight for two cars.
