I will be sure to keep you updated through the process!

I know it's a time consuming process but it's all I have to work with as of now and gives me a good estimate.Looking forward to seeing other's responses!

If you haven't got a piece of land yet, that info would be easy to acquire during the purchase process. 

Here at Carrot we see about 30k real estate investing leads a month come in from our clients 100% online so it's been cool seeing the process that is working for people.

Typically a short sale is a process by which the seller can unload the property with the banks permission knowing they (bank) aren't going to get what they're owed. 

I have a question about a situation where a renter has moved out during the close process.

At this point, I do not trust the seller's agent when she said the tenant would move out because he is in the process of closing on a house.

Bottom line, it takes me 12-15 months to finish a project from point of land acquisition in my area (King County, WA).You should ask around with people who are familiar with the process to see what timelines to expect.  

Also, the house buying process in long sometimes.
