That sounds like a plan in my humble opinion. 

This is what chapter 13 BK allows a work out plan.

Hello all, i plan on doing a refinance soon on my duplex.

What’s the plan for your new rental?

I am still living in Chicago but plan to move to New York in a year or two.

My original plan was to buy 15-20 properties with REI if things went well. 

This extra year gives property owners more time to schedule inspections and make necessary repairs.Key Points:Applies to multifamily properties with three or more units.Covers balconies, decks, and elevated elements made of wood or similar materials.Inspections must be completed by licensed professionals and repeated every six years.Hazards identified must be repaired promptly.With the extension, now’s the time to plan ahead.

I would also focus on landlord friendly states if you are planning to rent.

Like Jay said, often, new construction does not go as planned.

I plan on being on the road here for work in the next day or two and wanted to try and make sure I have everything covered before I leave.
