Basically the tax maps show the roadway ending even with our property line despite the physical road extending another 50-70 feet.

I was worried about the 2-year balloon but the banker said they'd simply keep extending the 2-year loan but after revisiting the interest rate.

It's cheaper to higher a professional to get jobs done than it is to try to do everything yourself and deal with extended hold times and taking away from family/life/ other more productive business activities.

It can be used for extended family, office, gym, etc. 

I'm willing to back away from the 2nd deal but it seem pretty great opportunity...or so I think.Anyone able to extend an olive branch to the newbie in the room please?

Extend closing long enough to ensure the tenants are removed and the Seller has time to clean the place up. 

She is two weeks out from appraisal(we already extended deadline once) and after walking through there is a decent amount of work remaining.

Auction dates are often extended.

Level 5 (and others, probably) make skimming blades up to 48" wide now, so going from a rough wall to a smooth wall isn't as difficult as it used to be.Skimming should also be cheaper than adding 1/4" drywall because it won't require buying custom sized door jambs (to accommodate the thicker walls), using box extenders for electrical, removing and reinstalling base/crown molding, or any of the other issues you might run into by adding a layer of drywall.

Make sure you have business interruption coverage with extended period of indemnity.
