Tell them you’ll cancel your court date if they pay you the rest by the court date.

For the tax side of things, the exclusion is available for the "home" meaning that if you sell one and keep the other, you'd have to sell the front lot - but the back lot could also be eligible for the exclusion even if they're sold on separate dates (potentially back lot sold first too), provided it meets a few additional criteria.

@Bret Hudson: I've been a heavy user of both websites you mention and I find your comment interesting.

Do they have a website?

Orangeburg is an inferior, out of date product, made out of essentially paper and tar.

Here’s what’s worked for me: For Brookhaven, start with the official town website (brookhavenny.gov).

Look at the date of preapproval (over 60 days old is a warning sign but not a big deal)2.

Find out which filters are best for your furnace, purchase a year's worth, write the installation date on each one so the tenant knows when to swap them, and inspect regularly to verify it's happening.

It is the perfect home for me (as an airbnb) but it's undesirable to a regular person since it's dated (its a late 1960's home).
