I think @Charles Parrish and @Al Wilson are right on the money with the "auction fever" advice, I've felt it coming on myself and luckily haven't given in, but as far as what Charles mentioned about getting in there prior to the actual auction date, that is something I've not put much effort into myself but know other very experienced people around here who've tried that one every which way they can think of and maybe its a difference in state laws or just common practice amongst the local/regional law firms handling cases here vs there, but they've all hit a big brick wall n matter what method they tried and were just told "wait for the auction day".

Could the wife file it now and have it be valid from the date of signing?

You can even just re-write your new lease for their same rate of rent and expiration date, but with YOUR terms and conditions that apply to you being the landlord.  

When does the building lease expire? 

Hi BP Community,Working towards closing my first deal soon and wanted to make sure I have all my logistics in order as I near that date.

IMO just raise rents on lease expirations and turnovers.

Remember that books are going to be out of date to the market standard pretty much right after they publish. 

. • Regular monitoring of approved leases to ensure proper actions are taken at the leasing expiration and renewal dates. • Preparation of quarterly reports for the Board of Directors outlining the current status of the leasing program. • Coordination with the Association attorney as needed for enforcement of the leasing provisions. • Assessment and collection of costs for this program from the leased units by the authority of the Community Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs), $150/year.
