@Roland Paicely  That thought had occurred to me, but unfortunately its out of the question, he has made it clear he just wants to sell it and move on, and from what I know of his personal circumstances I believe him.

If circumstances are bad and you have to bear them, do not make them a part of yourself.

And the other issue is going to be whether those are expensable items under any circumstances or whether they would need to be capitalized whether primary or rental.Dave

I had a "my home" that I was in a similar circumstance, I knew I would be back in 5 years.

I've heard from other agents that 6 months is the minimum you should plan on, but I would think if you can point to a change in circumstance that makes a move reasonable, you'd be okay with less time (although I can't imagine you'd actually have to, because I've never heard of a bank checking on these things).

Depends on your circumstances though..

In most circumstances, pursuant to A.R.S. 33-1321(C), you may require that the landlord notify you of when the move out inspection will occur.If you remain in possession beyond the date set forth above, your conduct will be deemed willful and you will be considered a "holdover tenant" at which point the landlord may bring an action for possession and may recover damages in an amount equal to not more than two month's periodic rent or twice the actual damages sustained by the landlord, whichever is greater.

A rising rate environment might cause me to assume that the exit value will be lower than recent comps, or after factoring in the totality of the circumstances, level with recent comps. 

I also suggest you get a written authorization to enter the property to inspect it, under the circumstances this letter should be notarized so that any cop won't have as many questions.It could be a flip with cleaning and lipstick, but not likely at what you think market is or what it was listed for because it didn't sell, obviously it was not priced to sell.You can't know until you see it and verify the mortgage payoff.

Texas also has a charging order as the exclusive remedy against a members interest and expressly limits piercing of the veil to much more restricted circumstances (actual fraud is the big one that allows piercing).
