Also, if you keep them in the apartment you can at least postpone a possible major rehab job.

Then they take 3 hours to try to install a dead bolt lock on a new door they are installing and can't figure out how, then tell me they need to post pone the job because I cost them an hour while they where waiting for me.

I don’t have anything in an email/text about postponement, that all happened via phone. 

@P.Martin this isn't lowering my income, it is postponing if for one month to put it into the next tax year.

Court date is postponed and my hard money lender no longer wants to lend on it

Her not paying on time resulted in postponed detection of the leak, which I have received counsel on.

@Danielle Price - There are a number of institutions that provide non recourse loans to eitherSDIRA (self directed IRA) orIRA LLC that holds your SDIRAI was going to get a loan for my SDIRA but that got postponed for a bitHere are a couple of lenders recommended by my attorney (Who is one of experts in the country on SDIRA)North American Savings Bank - Jason Zookwww.iralender.com - Roger St PierreKeep in mind that non recourse loans are generally only 50-60%LTV and you need to keep usually 10-15% reserves in your acct at all times.

You would have to close with cash or private/hard money that could close in 4-5 days or so too, you would need the homeowners permission or get them to order their payoff from the foreclosing attorney as well.This is all assuming the owner has equity in the property, if they dont, you could try REALLY hard to get a postponement for them to consider a short sale.  

I need to personally think of some strategies on how to sell these 2 pieces of land.2) The closing on our Chicago Rd, Dolton property has been postponed by 1 week because the money of the buyer did not get cleared by her bank due to the holidays (and because the buyer came in so late in the game, our attorney Kurt was not able to get the documents prepared in time).

That said you can still sell a rental and do a 1031 exchange sou you postpone the tax gain.
