I guess you could put the 4th of July holiday to blame for part of the delay.  

James, are you by any chance referring to Holiday Island? 

The Bank of Mom & Dad should be viewed as a different entity than the folks who raised you, invite you home for holidays and pressure you to produce grandkids.It is most prudent - and may be legally required, depending where you are -  that both you and your lender have independent counsel.   

Appreciate your help, happy holidays.

With the upcoming holiday I was reflecting on what I am thankful for.

@Paul Sandhu hopefully I will find a landlord who just wants to relax and let the money roll in without taking over the AirBnB process.

However, in those locations, currently, I have not been successful in finding deals that would meet my cash flow and cash-on-cash return parameters.We are still searching for our permanent residence in Aptos or Soquel California and would like to own a house with an ocean view for renting during holiday weekends on Airbnb or something to that effect.  

My suggestion is (as others have said)...TALK to your landlord first and explain the situation.Right now I'm in one where a young tenant texted me that she had to "go out of town on a family emergency" that just happened to take place over the fourth of July holiday. 

I give them hand-written holiday cards.  

So I would say “take a break” for a few years but I would say you can do it at a more relaxed pace.
