We have extended our search to the surrounding counties outside of Pinellas at this point but would appreciate the opportunity to run numbers by you for a second look.

Buyers want patios, decks, and backyard spaces that extend the home’s livable area.

If not, ride out the 12 months with the hard money lender.People have to make good choices and not over extend themselves just for the sake of buying something they really can't afford or that doesn't make good cash flow.

I am looking at a condo that is located across the street from a Sonesta Suites extended stay hotel.

If they have, you extend that time to 6 months from date of death.On top of that, every month you delay buying the house, the loan balance is going to increase. 

Maybe the 2017 tax and jobs act gets extended, but either way, if tax savings is the primary motivation, don't do it. 

The premise of those opportunities are based on you living there for an extended amount of time.

The original six month tenant I had extended the lease 9 times and stayed a total of 5 years, paying me about $15k over market rent annually.  

The seller responded that since the issue was repaired and he believes there is no ongoing problem, he did not think it needed to be disclosed.When I asked him to extend the inspection period so I could follow up with the repair company and conduct my own inspection, he declined.I disagree with this interpretation.

Quote from @Neeta Agrawal: For context, we gave the tenant a 60-day notice for non upkeep and no repair communication in 2023 and then extended it for 30 days upon his realtor's request, setting the move-out for May 31, 2023.
