What you’re experiencing is super common with long-distance rentals, turnkey doesn’t always mean “zero headaches.”

Sellers — especially on flips or distressed properties — care a lot about whether the buyer can actually close.A few things that tend to kill deals:• Slow underwriting timelines (waiting weeks for approvals)• Capital providers backing out late• Draw structures that make contractors nervous• Last-minute LTV changes after appraisalIn faster markets, even a 7–10 day delay can push a seller to accept another offer.Many experienced flippers I talk to end up prioritizing reliable closings over slightly better terms, because losing the deal entirely is usually the most expensive outcome.
