Closing date was 2/29/2024. company said end buyer would put down EM and escrow would then open. 

So there may be a way to work some of the near-qualified ones to benefit both sides if it's close.

I’m often asked if I know of other units close by for friends.  

Hi guys, we close several deals a week at our office. 

Closed sales were only up modestly.Overall, home prices and inventory in the Austin area look relatively stable over the previous 12 months.

You will need to supply 2-3 quotes from different General Contractor's or licensed builder for all work.Some things that can occur are builder/vendor issues with lack of inventory, broken material, employee "no shows", date of completed work extensions, bad work, additional costs not factored on blue prints or cost analysis, delayed permits.Keep in mind any delays or issues will slow down your clear to close/funding date.

Account Closed, if the owner died before the tax sale, then the tax sale is void.

@Devin Peterson is a close 2nd. lol

Before closing, we were informed by the city that the person that had the house under contract before us (deal fell through) used a lawyer to have the lots split and the addresses updated/ changed.

If the price point is feasible I'd advise to do your first flip locally that way you can build systems and processes and gain the experience of doing a flip while being able to monitor close by.
