Submitting an unrealistic closing date ~
Short sales should really be called «long
sales»
because most of the time they take longer to
complete than a traditional
sale.
Whether the goal is to flip the house or turn it into a rental homes needing repairs often provide better returns
because they sell at more steeply discounted prices yet once the repairs are
complete these homes will rent for the same amount and / or sell for the same price as other homes not in foreclosure or
short sale.
