If the repairs to the front door are easy and cheap, say yes to that as you have an extra $5k to play with per your post, and for the warranty, that is typically something a buyer requests from a seller in their offer, so I would either say no as they did not request it or perhaps give in but ask for something in return like the immediate release of contingencies, quicker closing, or perhaps ask them to pay for half of it.

@Jefferson Smith if he is holding rents or security deposits, the funds need to be released at termination of his contract.

Please advise Get a lease termination, determine what you can get to release them, help them move out asap, and move on and find a new tenant.At minimum i'd keep the damage deposit. 

You have to keep in mind, they often get stuck in an extended stay hotel.

In the end, the foreclosure process could result in zero return on the property for an extended period of time.

The farmer looked him over and responded, "Son, go stand out in that field and I'm going to release three bulls, one at a time.

I've been carefully planning the steps & I'm hoping 2015 is the year we can develop an extended stay or limited service property.  

If you need to extend, it's no trouble.

I would rather have my tenant living for free than leave it vacant for an extended period of time because of the risk of theft and vandalism. 

No allowing borrower to put second position loans behind you... this creates issues if you have to call the note.. you cant take a deed in Lui if you have a second and they won't release so it forces you to the full foreclosure process.LTVs are personal choice.. if I like my guy or gal and have tons of experience I can do 100%  no problem but I get paid handsomely for being their money partner not just HML rates.but for this post as low as LTV as will make the deal work is what you want.You want borrower to have some skin in the game ( unless as stated you have a multi year track record with our borrower).. the more the betterPoints and rates..
