@Davis Barrow they didn't want to extend your rate lock because they wanted you to buy more expensive paper which is a bit unfortunate.

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.

I would lean towards recommending that you pursue the deal - plus having the property remain in your family may be a net positive for you and your extended family regardless of the ultimate financial return. 

.: My wife and I are considering getting a home closer to her family to stay in for extended periods and holidays.   

@Jeff Nash, noted the two year period. 

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.

Rental Property is located in Upstate NY in Oneida County.I have a tenant who is currently scheduled to have their lease end at the end of February; they will have only occupied the unit for a year at the end of their lease.I'm not looking to extend their lease and would like to have the unit vacant upon lease end.

On utilities, I bought a foreclosure in NJ and found out it was not attached to Town sewer and I actually had to extend the main line up to my property then put the lateral in and abandon an old cesspool.  

The checklist here acts as a roadmap, ensuring that nothing is overlooked.Knowing when your due diligence should be completed or when to close or extend your contract is of utmost importance.
