This is 10 business days and if it is a good deal, a good cash buyer will snatch it up in that time.

Editor's Note: The NAHB/First American Improving Markets Index (IMI) is usually released on the fourth business day of each month at 10:00 a.m., ET, unless that day falls on a Friday - in which case, the index will be released on the following Monday.

We do have 8 business days after the foreclosure to rescind the sale but that needs to be done in a hustle.

As an investor, you have no due diligence period...once you submit your earnest money, you either have to close or lose the money (with the exception of a seller default).Well besides no option, after your bid is accepted I thought you had 2 business days before you were stuck in the contract.

What I typically do is put the last business day of the month on the contract, as there are definitely times when closing before the end of the month is an incentive to the asset manager vs the next month.For example, any contracts I were to submit for the next three weeks will have July 31 as the closing date (though I always note in my email to the listing agent that I'm ready to close whenever the seller is).I've had several asset managers come back and say, "I'll accept the offer if you can close before the end of the month"...

You need to buy it as is without any contingencies, 5 business days for due diligence period after which the earnest money goes hard, then 5 business days to close.

They set up another ticket for someone to come out and look at my meter within 10 business days.

To avoid this very situation, this is what we do.After we approve someone for a unit we tell them we need a deposit from them within 3-5 business days.

In my neck of the woods, you can get an inspection and results easily within 5 business days.

So while it may be an "open & shut case" from the outside, this is likely not going to be something settled in 7-10 business days where a check is issued.
