You can extend the payment terms 30 yr fixed to free up money to get other deals by having lower payments.3.

@Thomas Mehi, With your military exemption I think you do get an extended time to qualify for the primary residence exclusion. 

ROI would be higher if I'd had lower downpayment (20% down minimum), but using a higher downpayment, lowered my mortgage payments to enable them to be more manageable if I had to carry the notes for an extended period. 

Also, what happens when the option for you to buy starts to run out - see if the original seller will extend?

Isn't that a one page document extending it and they're charging hundreds of dollars to sign that?

You typically have the option to extend, but it does not automatically happen.

I am working with a lender from the BP resource list and have already extended closing by two weeks because this lender claimed they needed more time to obtain financing.

As far as TIC's go- if you want out, and use a TIC just to "park" your money to extend the 45/180 day deadlines the IRS might get you.

Having said that, I don't look forward to doing these.You do not have to extend the closing or agree to post occupancy. 

I agreed to let them pay $375 if they move before November 15, 2019, but if they extend by even one day they had to pay the full months rent of $750.
