They can extend for weeks on end, but if I need to reschedule a closing because of a toothache, you'd think I'd bring down the banking world. 

Great answer above and I will simply reiterate that utilizing leverage at low rates to invest in other cash producing assets creates arbitrage and so long as you use the leverage responsibly and you do not over extend, I think it is a great idea.

I've never done it, but I wonder if a possibility in some situations is simply to tie up the property through a legal proceeding so that the seller can't sell it with clean title to anyone else for an extended period of time.

I asked why she wanted to sell and even if maybe she might consider extending an option to buy to her tenants but she said she didn't want to get into that.

In that case send him written notice that you will not extend month to month lease beyond XX date.
