If I get interrupted and come back without navigating or refreshing the page, I'm now programmatically locked out of that category.

This is the only option I consider as an "alternative" exit.The key is to only lock deals where yu have enough room and bought in the right area/location to "firesale" the property and walk away with no profit, then learn from the mistake you made on that deal.In summary, as a flipper, NEVER use a buy and hold as a potential exit.

The reason I was taking a course is to get the funding locked in for my deals.

I'm looking at the vinyl planks, click lock, again.

I stumbled upon and quickly locked up a home that is 3 hours from the territory I typically work.

You’re on a high when you think you have a property all locked up to purchase, and then you hit a low when it suddenly falls though at closing.

I need help finding some people or contractors that would be good eyes and ears while I'm here in El Paso 

The owner was in his late 70's, not enforcing rents, and had the building leased at less than half of market value.So the wholesaler had this beauty locked up at $1.3mm owner financed with 20% down, 6 year note on $520k at 3.5% and the remaining $520k due on a 6 year balloon with 0% interest.

Here are some common reasons why the estimated charges in your Loan Estimate might increase:You decide to change the kind of loan, for example moving from an adjustable-rate to a fixed-rate loanYou decide to reduce the amount of your down paymentThe appraisal on the home you want to buy came in lower than expectedYou took out a new loan or missed a payment on another loan, and your credit score has changedYour lender could not verify your overtime, bonus, or other incomeThe interest rate on your loan was not locked, and locking the rate caused the points or lender credits to changeIf your lender gives you a revised Loan Estimate, you should look it over to see what has changed”.

My other concern is that since our utility close is in common space I cannot lock it and with my trust level with this guy being zero I am afraid he might do something malicious and cause inconvenience to my 2nd floor tenant.
