SO, I concluded that he is there for a good while still: All improvements and getting higher value off the property will be on standby until Cleve moves back to Tennessee where he is from and his extended family still resides.  

Not to speak for @Reed, but I'd guess it's a combination of high deductible for insurance, the percentage of his co-pay once the deductible was met, and living expenses (if he has a job requires the use of his legs and that did not pay him for an extended absence.) 

Since I'm self funding this, a 30 year full amortized loan seems like a good move, rather than risking extended costs and rate hikes in five years. 

Even this year, when the new tax law caused software vendors to delay releasing their tax preparation software release we had all out before March 15.If you have to file extensions because you are waiting for K-1s you are investing with the wrong sponsors.

Remodels on older properties can be especially difficult to bid because there are often a lot of hidden surprises that extend the timeframe and blow the budget.

Go big or go home.And thank you, I found reference to an extended duty exclusion if you receive PCS order that take you more that 50 miles away, indefinitely - which would apply to us. 

Extended through 2020.2.

, Never break "heel" , stay on extended stay ETC that dog knows its commands the very first time on time!

And the worst still awaits.On Tuesday, researchers at Goldman Sachs released a paper titled “The Housing Downturn: Further to Fall.”

I guess I should have mentioned that ideally this not be too onerous, or to possibly negotiate that yield maintenance gets released after say three years depending on the fixed rate loan timeline (this would need to be paid for upfront).Another key point that might allow an out clause while being able to avert yield maintenance penalty that I also forgot to mention is to be sure that the "Loan is Assumable" so that a purchaser of the property could assume the loan.
