Loan: The loan on Braxton at Tamarron is a capped floating rate loan that is SOFR + 3.45% with a maturity date of January 2025 with two 1-year extensions available.

Once the lease expires, they would turn to month to month tenants.

Under IRS Publication 523 for 2023 dated February 2024, I qualify as "Service, Intelligence and Peace Corp Personnel" and for "qualified extended duty" (page 4& 5 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p523.pdf).

We have only 2 criteria for the order we process applications: 1) nearest move in to the date unit is available to be rented 2) order that the completed applications are received.If we had a unit for rent that would be rent ready Jan 15 and have multiple applications, the application processed first is the one who can move in the fewest days after Jan 15.

I'm not sure there are any with joined dates older than yours still on the site!
