Should I stay on the closing attorney to keep the pace or prepare to extend contracts or worse?

Hi Account Closed, No, the IRS lien would have to either be waived/released by the IRS by either having the closing agent arrange to have the lien paid off at closing or getting the IRS to waive/release the lien.  

@Jennifer CheuMy mortgage commitment date was 8/15 and we had to extend this back until 8/21 but more so because the appraisal report was sent in late and there was some last minute issues between FHA and Insurance.Outside of that, we are still on pace to close this Friday 8/25 and I have no complaints with them at all.

To the best of my and my siblings knowledge, our Aunt Ceil lived all of her life, from around age 2 until she enter an extended care facility at the age of 95 in 2005, in the house at 3156 Memphis St Philadelphia, PA, that I and my siblings grew up in.

In other states, there could be an extended redemption period in which the previous owner could still pay taxes and redeem. 

Thank you.In the context that I have no real familiarity with the concept and I'm using only general business principles in these suggestions it seems to me that:1) Sebastian's concern, while legitimate, can probably be dealt with by way of options to renew within the lease (perhaps extending out 5 years or so); and,2) Andy's comment about extra security deposits between him and the owner being limited by law (though I'm not advocating that you should provide higher deposits than you are suggesting) may be worked around via a lease that, while similar to regular residential leases in wording, is designated as a commercial lease (a business-to-business lease) which it surely is anyway. 

I have a financial planning/investments background so I'm familiar with economic reports released by the Commerce Department with data on GDP,  inflation, existing home sales, new home sales, housing starts, etc.

Cleveland proper is the most liberal IMO.Also worth noting that my team has a portfolio that extends much further then just the West Side.

That said, some loan officers have a fair amount of easy loans and may become a little picky as to what they put extended effort into. 

Usually the seller agrees to extend a few days but we almost always complete the inspection in 5 days, but getting the report and giving a list of repairs can take a few extra days
