My last one was supposed to be 30 days, but got extended to 40 by the lender.

The extended lease is for your tenant's benefit, not yours.

Now he is telling us it’s been done already, but is a terrible "half-assed" job.I have requested we extend the closing date until the repairs are done properly OR go ahead and close but hold back money in escrow so we can do the work ourselves.

The average family moves every 7 years, although that has extended out a bit over the last couple years.

I am here to extend a helping hand in any way possible!

If T2 already vacated the unit, you won't be able to keep him/her on extended lease.

Welcome to BP, though not in your area, I would like to extend a hello, best of luck in your investing

The delay will be on their part, because the title company will take longer than that, but that's ok, because you are willing to extend the closing deadline for them :-).

Attorney's here on BP and your own could shed some light on how often that happens in NJ.Were extensions agreed to or just an understanding that due to HOA dues, your loan contingency would be extended?

I have a Lease / Option that needs to be financed by May 1st and I'm not sure the sellers would be willing to extend because the deal/house has 80K in equity in it and they may want to capture that equity by choosing not to extend.
