If the seller wants the offer deadline extended, would I counter it with an addendum?

We received a cash offer with a 28 day closing and a two week inspection deadline.

Buyer will need to qualify for a mortgage to pay you off, which they probably won't because they won't take the necessary steps to clean up their credit.LEASE WITH OPTION TO PURCHASE: basically glorified lease with an option contract that stipulates terms to purchase by a future deadline at an agreed upon price.

Or do I have my aluminum foil hat on too tight?

. • I’m going to be looking to buy a duplex I can house hack, and will likely sell the house I’m in (I should get around $50k free from capital gains from the split)• I have experience in rehabbing and am currently assisting the management of flips for a fellow investor and potential future partner, but I’m currently just billing for labor as a sub- AKA w9 income that won’t be 2 years old until 2023 (3 years from my goal deadline) • My DTI isn’t currently great but I’m actively pushing to increase my income• My personal credit is above 720• Needless to say, I’m a newbieThe next step (besides confirming my market) is calling every bank I can to see who can help me pull off a BRRRR, because the dilemma I’m getting caught on is, after I rehab a property, how I will be able to qualify for the refinance in order to hold it.

@Theresa Harris  We realize this has to be the first debt before we seriously considered any investment,  The payments are doable it has been a bit too tight.

Once done - we will be able to order the Appraisal.Our pool contractor is making false promises about deadlines and work being done.

We had to close escrow ON BOTH PROPERTIES AS ONE UNIT (clearly two condos fully self contained) - Price 4.3 Million  to meet our deadline before the "condo split" happened. 

I don't want to compound their problems.We have had other folks cancel inside the deadline.

You can unlock endless resources including all of the property calculators and the added ability to connect with other investors.Definitely don't feel like you absolutely need it right this moment especially if your finances are very tight.
