If you you're a good risk and have shown success with REI they may be willing to extend a line of credit or have other options to expand your portfolio.

A lot of value, I extend my gratitude!

It won't affect your DTI and your able to obtain the funding that you need in order to extend your portfolio.   

I have a background in General Contracting and I've extended my contractors to my investors who have been doing their jobs at contractor pricing.

Now after that it goes to Extended, it can then be sold to investors and there is no owner occupant requirement.

So after all of the sacrifice I have put into the property I will have to convert it back to a single family home, or spend even more money extending a wall out 5 feet.

I am currently asking to have due diligence extended another week so that a contractor can come in and give me estimates, which I will use to go down on my offer price.

I am in the Tampa market, but would like to extend the lease that I generate to you in hopes of being an asset to your business.

My current W2 job requires that I travel OCONUS for extended periods of time and I am not able to be present physically a lot of the time. 

If it's not empty, extend the closing until it is.On the day of closing, hand the other tenants a letter that introduces yourself and gives them the required notice that you intend to raise the rent to market (or whatever  you've decided).
