Extended close date.

Anything can happen: the market can shift, we can go into another extended lockout period, the property can be destroyed by a natural disaster or by vandalism, the list of contingencies is endless.

Is 4th ward pretty much the inside of the bend of the river and does it extend out much?

The area and price range you mention  should go  very  quickly regardless of the time you list the property... when you sell - you can also ask the buyer to provide you with an extended closing date or lease back ( if you need some extra time before needing to move ) . 

I definitely have a tendency to suffer from “paralysis by analysis” and will keep an eye on that.

We needed an upgraded 200amp electrical panel ($5-8k), extended water and sewer for the garage ($5k), built out interior ($7k?)

A market can remain strong and an assets performance goes to hell simply from suffering the ravages of time and cap-x.     

Anyone have insight on these being better markets for traditional long term rentals vs. 30 day minimum extended stays / MTRs?

I’m considering hiring a lawyer to try and recover the cost of the repairs and potentially my extended holding costs.

I had to extend the loan once and completed the entire thing in just under 2 years while working full time.
