Background information is that my wife and I have a high w2 income and also started an llc to mange a short term rental that we own.

I regret every property I sold 10 years ago (except the ones in the hood, that was a short term experiment I am glad I got out off).Your total net worth contribution is a lot higher than 0.6%, just the paydown of your loan is double digit ROI.

My understanding in Maryland the seller provides the buyer with a copy of the COA papers at least 21 days prior to settlement and you have up to 7 days to review and pull out of the contract if you don't agree to the terms.  

How long has each tenant been in place for?

BiggerPockets is an amazing platform and inspired me further to dive into long-term rental idea.

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

At what point do files matter to me as a buyer is it the date of the mortgage or the date of the foreclosure because I noticed some foreclosures can go on for a long time which gives the property more time to add more liens and such to the record pull? 

Drug out the process so long I had to pay additional EMD to save the deal.

No matter where you choose to move, you are perfectly set up (if the money works) to house hack with your wife in one unit of a two-family and then to mid-term rent the other unit because of your medical connections.

I am now approaching 115+ days since assignment on my first 3 deals and because I am in NYS, my attorney tells me that I cannot even speak to buyer’s or seller’s attorneys due to “breach of contract”.I lost my first deal in fact because we were hindering on 130 days since assignment (should have been long closed) and the city decided to demo before we closed and were able to takeover in court.
