Find an investment that covers your costs and make it a priority to return whatever you match as fast as possible, while keeping a reserve.  

I offer cash ,  no inspection period and closing  as fast as the title company can do the paperwork . you just have to view many prospects . 

If you want to buy FAST, but sell SLOW (for lots more), that may well be an option for you, provided you've REALLY done your homework on how good a deal it is for all cash.But they're telling you: if you're not interested to (or can't) close quickly for cash - go away!

My final exit strategy, if I have to sell fast, is to use the Pro forma and list the property on the MLS for a quick sale.

Face time is key to fast success.

But in this case, I think they're pulling a fast one with not paying that last month of rent and asking for the security deposit to be applied.

Hey BP, I just started a new position (about two weeks ago) at a fast growing funding company here in San Diego.

If her Mortgage balance is 75k, she's walking away with 95k, with a fast close (15-30 days), she doesn't have to pay 6% to a realtor, she doesn't have to do 25k in repairs, and she doesn't have to wait 3 months, and be 3 more months behind which would put her out another 6500.Let's look at those numbers 285k -6% -Closing Costs -Repairs -Holding CostsSo: 285k - 17,100 = 267,900

@Clint WorlandSounds like you are off to a fast start.

You could buff them a little,  but sanding and staining will empty your budget fast!
