BP has an "On The Market" podcast. https://www.biggerpockets.com/...The best way to keep track of the market is to look at real deals constantly in your selected market.

Initially asked for 3 months extension to which we agreed in writing but then Tenant changed to request 6 months.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I do think the government does not want real personal finance to be taught in schools because they essentially can put a 18 year old into massive debt sometimes student loan debt that they might be unable to ever payoff given their career/school selections. 

Furthermore, there is the potential of extensive smoke damage in the same airspace.

Skip collecting pay stubs and bank statements; those remain requirements for securing mortgage financing but employment and past landlord are more meaningful for tenant selection.

@Anthony Rosa Extension policy really depends on HML.

@Joel MatthewsEven if someone give you a referral, what meets their expectations, may not meet yours.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Downspout extensions - make sure the downspouts extend at least 5' away for the house (and see item #1).If you don't solve the grading issue, you must turn your basement walls into a waterproof dam that is 8-10 deep. 

Treatment can range from minimal to extensive counseling, rehab therapy, etc.

Suggestions: Insurance, the buyer selects the company and pays it and the note holder is listed as a "loss mortagee" that way if it get's close to renewal, you should get a notice as well about it and then you can check to make sure it's current.
