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. 

Possible sale dates got postponed, buyers walked, etc.

If the customer insists that they purchase the materials I make sure that they do it with my supervision so that I don't get partway into a project and end up with the wrong materials that may postpone the job completion waiting on the right ones.

The sale was postponed but he is trying to neg. a short sale.

I don't want the agents to feel like they are wasting there time, should I just have them postpone sending me deals or try another approach?

They were either stayed or postponed. 

The question becomes, was this just another "patch job" to fix a critical issue that could not be postponed any longer, or is it an actual effort to "right the ship" and get total funding to a level much closer to where it should have been for years?
