(in NC that is) I do not del in other states but would think it would be the same. 2 months is enough time to contact seller, get house under contract and submit package to the bank and request a "stay" or postponement.

I am ready to get approvals from the municipality and the seller is now holding up the process and delayed it so much that we are having to postpone the development until spring of 2024.  

I just received an update that I need a Certificate of Occupancy so I'm not sure how long that will postpone this process.

Essentially you will be postponing starting your investing career for 15 years until your house is paid off or until you somehow manage to save up to start buying real estate. 

@Brent CoombsWe might be able to justify postponing the unsecured note as a gain if not paid in full upon subsequent sale, but probably not a deal breaker.

This recapture tax can be postponed indefinitely by not selling the property, or selling the property under a 1031 exchange and keep postponing, and repostponing the tax until you eventually die at which time this tax debt effectively dies with you and goes away entirely.

They scheduled it for this Thursday, but one my the tenants in the duplex is concerned about someone accessing the property and asked for it to be postponed until after the lockdown.

At sale, it can be 1031 into another RE to postpone the taxes further.  

The first one would cause the Sheriff to physically set the Tenants and their property out, usually within about 10 days of the hearing, but in Tenant friendly states these can get postponed by the Tenants if they are creative.

They send me email alerts when 1 of the properties on my watchlist has been postponed.
