A probate situation and the closing has extended 2 times already. 

Im in a probate situation and the closing has extended 2 times already.

The difference is that as a direct W-2, I felt my stream of paychecks extended into infinity (even though I knew otherwise), while as a W-2 contractor, I felt and knew my last paycheck was really my last paycheck.

Since no one in my close circle is available or cares I figured I'd extend the invite to anyone in the BP family that is local. 

What about going month to month with your tenants, and when you know they are good people with a reliable bank account, extending them to a longer lease to hopefully reduce your turnover rate?

I'm talking about the longer term programs these lenders are rolling out. 5.5 - 8.5 year extended programs are NOT reasons to use them for holds. 

So the pretty bad news at least according to my UK tax advisor is that the buy to let tax law change here in the UK extends its long arms abroad.

Sedgrid Lewis Was the property vacant for an extended period of time prior to you closing?

I can't relate to ever purchasing a property in a location where I am concerned with extended vacancy or a large reduction in rents....that's not a market problem, that's a strategy problem.

such as cleaning your gutters, extending the downspouts as far as you can, regrading all the soil around - especially the areas where there is water pooling.
