@Frank D.Hello Frank,I'm a real estate investor in Orlando Florida however, my main business is now on fix and flipping properties for myself and my investors.The market is very tight in Florida in general right now but opportunities still abound and Orlando is one of the few cities with huge population growth, highest rent upside and property valuation increases.

Sep can be established and contributed up to extension deadline. 

If she meets the deadline, you will use the deposit for the 15 days of rent and the rest of the deposit will be used for cleaning and repairs or refunded if the unit is in good condition.3.

Should I stick to hard deadlines or show that I am willing to be flexible? 

A few of the fees and estimatesMLS - $1000Board Dues - $1000E&O Insurance - $1000Licensing Fees - $300Continuing Education $400Electronic Lock Box Access - $300Brokerage Fees - Varies.My business overhead on being an agent is right around $25-$30k per year, and I run a pretty tight ship.

We've opted to hold tight as oppossed to making adjustments in the rent amount or condition of the units. 

However, with all those expense, you seem to be running a tight budget.

If your goal is to have a rental, then start collecting rent and get a lease in place with them.If the rent makes sense and you want to flip it to another investor, same thing, get a short term lease in place and sell it as a turnkey tenant in place rental.If you want to live in it, then you may want to get them moved out on your terms...and have them pay rent in the meantime.If there is a redemption period and there is a chance they will redeem and you would rather have the house than the redemption fee, then sit tight until the redemption period is over. 

I'm glad they communicated with me but I'm not going to extend my deadline just because they keep me updated.

If things are tight, you could also figure out creative ways to lower your expenses.
