Mike, I read that tenants can postpone eviction if they can present a good reason:"You may file a request for an "extension of time" if hardships keep you from making the deadline.

Can you postpone the closing a week to allow the 7 day period to be done and over before taking possession?

We are going to postpone this week's meet-up and reschedule for Thursday March 10 at 6:00pm at Brambly Park in Scott's Addition.

Usually each week there's at least a few and sometimes a bunch that they announce right before the sale begins had been cancelled and others which had been postponed.

So since negations we're not complete on 4/19 we postponed the closing.

The landlord will be lucky to ONLY eat about 3 months worth of "expenditures" postponing any potential sale until after the tenant is out and the winter is over.... 

You'd be surprised how many don't even know, because of all the previous postponements.

I would look to 1031 exchange it to postpone paying any taxes on the gain.Good luck

Currently appreciated RE can be exchanged via 1031 to postpone paying cap gains.  

Some of the reasons: state law requires a minimum waiting period of delinquency before the foreclosure can be filed; to file, state laws require certain consumer notices be sent to the delinquent borrower, and some time is allotted to that; sheriff sales might only be allowed in one day per month in some counties; court system can get backed up, so that a postponement in one month can mean that the next hearing date is months later, missing many possible sheriff sale dates; borrowers will use bankruptcy; borrowers will attempt loan modifications and there is now law that prohibits "dual tracking" (bank can't negotiate a loan mod and simultaneously pursue sheriff sale).
