Most were built in the early 80's or late 70's. 

We run on Saturday mornings and didn’t finish up until after 8am.

I was woundering if we can ask them to get out of the contract now  without loosing the deposit or should we wait until the scheduled closing date and hope that they will be late. 

I finally finished the renovations  on my gorgeous house (that's what everyone else says anyway) and I'm renting out the 1 bedroom apt below and just started renting out rooms in the main house where I live. 

South of 30, or out to the east of 635,  the 30 corridor.Frankly we personally have had trouble finding much of anything lately that looks like a great deal, and the few we have found we have been outbid. 

Any idea of cost per sqft on construction with lower end finishes? 

I'm specifically looking to Home Equity Loan out of a property that I finished rehabbing.  

While the property is still being rehabbed (should be finished within the next 3 weeks God-willing), I marketed it for rent back in December and have 6 out 7 units rented.

total waste of your time and effort... only way to work on this is if you have significant equity.you wont get the bank to lower their fee's no way..but if you want to fool with it for practice or just because it could be a good learning experience for you  to realize you cant work with these sitautions this late in the game unless your going to stroke a check ..

To answer your first question, there is no tax benefit to buying a late stage note vs early stage.
