No problems when I offer in May or June, but I will be out of the US in June?

I will be visiting my home country in June. If I find a good deal before or during the travel, I wonder if I could offer. Is there a case that I need to be physically in the US in 8 weeks after my offer is accepted? Since my all accounts are in the US, I would need to be in the US for doing a wire transfer to escrow in a bank before closing a deal. I guess 8 weeks until closing would be sufficient, so I could do that after returning in July. What about paying deposit? How much is it and how to pay? I'm frequently overthinking.

I'm sure you could work around all that with the Title company regarding closing. You may not even be through ROFR until almost July. Usually the deposit is 10% and you pay by credit card.

Honestly, with ROFR taking 30 plus days on average, I think you would be fine. Brokers will routinely put in 60 days now for closing.

I did my last few with Docusign and wire transfer on the phone with my brokerage. I used Mason title.

Your home state might matter in this discussion. I would just call the title company you plan to use and your bank. You might be able to set up standing instructions before you leave for the wire.

I think you could do this! ROFR is truly taking longer than 30 days it seems (I would know, on day 36 now)....
