The good thing about apartments is that the closing date is usually 30 to 90 days out giving you more time for due diligence.

@Jon Holdman  They paid for the house for me knowing that they would be selling it to me as soon as I could get a loan (about 2 years from purchase date) for the same amount they paid.
