Trophy Point never filed the Release of Mortgage with my local land records and this is now obviously getting in the way of closing.

My region is experiencing a glut of sellers who think their property is worth much more than the numbers dictate.

I agree I think this could lead to serious issues with the floor/tile.

The regulations only apply to stays less than 30 nights, so think most furnished rentals would just go mo. to mo. and seek a rental premium for being furnished and flexible term.

I think it's great you're wanting to get started now.

I'd love to help y'all think this through, but a bit more information is needed:1.

I'm thinking I maybe just flip it...but will that deter buyers?

I think it's also worth mentioning that having a Plan B replacement property is also critical in mitigating the timeline risk.Even if the preferred replacement property is already under contract well before the 45-day window.There are many unforeseen circumstances that could result in a deal falling apart before closing, even if things appear to be smooth sailing from the start.

Think long and hard as to why you are looking long distance. 

I think they mainly help people determine if unpermitted additions can (likely) be made legal or not, but seems like they could be useful in your situation as well.
