Yes you should be able to change the time as long as all parties agree, but in my experience you don't have to be physically present at the minute a sale closes (maybe it is different where you are buying). 

I just have my agent there put me in the e mail up date daily on listings if I see one I like I then will ask questions I will have MY GC run by and look see.. and if we want it I simply have my agent do the paper work.. if your expecting the agent to physically take you to all these houses then your not dealing with reality.

I am conducting research to investigate how technology can be utilised for streamlining the due diligence and buying process from the comfort of our homes/offices.I’d like to leave you with this question and kindly request your thoughts:Would you consider submitting an offer for a property located in another part of the world without physically viewing the property, but instead using tools such as your devices to conduct virtual tours and local representatives to validate the property?

Depending on the jurisdiction, the requirements for permit can be extensive and will exhaust all your time before you can even start any kind of construction. 

The property was physically distressed and as you said...I rehabbed and rented to better quality tenants for my turnaround. 

They don't just fix the physical issues.

If it is outdoors, and the intent was to shut off gas to the neighbor for some reason (possibly a safety issue such as exhaust from some gas appliance not done properly), then the gas company should be able to put a lock on the neighbor's meter so as to not affect others.Now, if the problem is due to a gas pipe leak somewhere before it reaches the meter, then a shut off at the street is the thing the gas company has to do - but then they should also repair things.

You're making a lot of assumptions about me that I wont entertain here, You're throwing out names and I legit haven't physically done anything with the house.

there are exhaustive threads on this company.. but it appears from what others have posted.. that the properties provided are D class and very inexpensive.. and you must pay cash and then let them rehab ( which is what a lot of folks have commented on)..
