Maybe extend their lease one year but give them a break on first year CAM's.  

Doesn't my contract automatically extend to the new Sellers agent?

I've never seen someone right after a knee surgery, and googling knee surgery recovery times had me worried about wobbliness, homeboundness, and extended recovery times.

The law that says deficiency forgiveness on a principal residence is tax free will expired 12/31/2016 but will probably be extended.

If there are many years left in the current term, and it wouldn't really impact the price if a tenant seemed to intend to extend down the road, the seller may be ok with you asking, and you can always request the ability to contact (not harass, contact) the tenant during due diligence.

If you need personal bank underwriting you are going to need income that supports debt-to-income ratios, and supports an expectation of income that extends into the future at least 3 years from now (time frame that lenders tell me). 

Nowadays, cash-flow in SA seems to mean that it covers expenses, without much cushion for the possibility of market fluctuations after an extended period of appreciation, or unforeseen expenses.

I would stay out of Wilmington ( city ) but as Eric said there are places in north Wilmington you could look around but may sit for an extended period of time.

Second I would love to extend my help to you.

@Troy Gandee Unfortunately I will be out of town for work, but thank you for extending the invite.
