., you can amend the P&S to allow you and your agents (anyone working for you) a reasonable amount of access -- don't expect the keys, but entering the property multiple times should be fine.Likewise, if you are looking to rent the property, you can negotiate and amend the P&S to allow you to show the space to potential tenants.Finally, if you're using traditional financing, most banks need approximately 60-days to underwrite and close on a loan.

You can't change the lease terms in the middle of the lease unless you amend the terms and are both agreeable to it. 

The broker and coordinator kept reading back the contract to me after I told them I didn't care what it said and they need to work harder to amend the date.

What about amendments, exhibits, addenda, etc. to the leases?

They will adjust the amount when you are ready to make an offer...for example if you are approved for up to $300k but you want to make an offer of $200k, your loan officer will send you an amended letter.

For the first time in a decade, I have a tenant that wants to use the fireplace in one of my rental properties (SFH).It is gas powered so there is no wood burning required, but the fireplace is in need of parts, has never been tested, nor has it been inspected for safe use.I don't feel comfortable with the prospect of a tenant using a fireplace (wood burning or not) so I was thinking of amending the lease to prohibit the use of the fireplace.

It's part of Amendment 8, section II.
