My personal experience is 8 days to 21 weeks.
How's that for narrowing it down?
There is no way to answer this question. It depends on the lender, the loss mitigation officer, the agents involved, the type of loan, whether or not there is a second, the payoff amount, a healthy does of luck, and apparently the phase of the moon. And other factors. - Wed Jul 8 2009, 22:06

Good on you for "planning in advance" for retirement! While I'm not sure exactly how you define "short term investment", my only advice there is to be VERY careful. This isn't the best market for short term anything -- it's still way too volatile in my opinion to be thinking short term. Others will almost certainly disagree.
Interview several agents, find one that you "click" with. Trust your gut instinct as it's usually right.
Thanks to you and you wife for your service. - Wed Jul 8 2009, 08:37

In all my research on the first-time homebuyers tax credit, I've never seen a distinction made based on the type of deed a property is held with.
But, I am not a tax professional and would strongly suggest you consult with one.
Also be aware there are currently 4 bills in the House and one in the Senate that are all trying to both extend the credit, AND eliminate the first-time buyer requirement.
Of course, who knows if any of those bills will be signed into law. But the fact that multiple legislators are proposing changes at least holds promise some changes may occur. - Tue Jul 7 2009, 12:22
