Seller got a foreclosure postponement about 3:30pm Friday afternoon, so our negotiating strength just go knocked down a bit. 

Looking at the types of non judicial sales in the newspaper either the third Friday of the month or the third Friday of the month it is a good way to get ahead of the sale. 

I'm talking to a broker on Friday about maybe doing a HELOC on a duplex I own outright, so we'll see what happens!

Everything was lining up perfectly.This was to be my first investment property and I was being very careful to make sure I didn't put it under contract until I had worked everything out.So last Friday, I confirmed my financing was ready.

Thanks for your advise.i will take that loan since I will close on the house this Friday.

Mehran,In Colorado, Friday has now become known as Furlough Friday.

Fast forward to Friday, March 9th, 2018.

That was a Friday and gave me a chance to move stuff into the home over the weekend.

We gave a deadline of that Friday afternoon- never heard anything until we finally found out the lady who apparently is in charge of this or the listing, or however it works, was apparently out of the office because when the listing agent forwarded our offer, he got an automated response.Apparently the list agent felt the bank was seriously considering it because it hadn't been outright rejected.

Of course the next morning is January 3rd, a Friday, the bank has two lanes open and only one teller working with six cars ahead of me.
