You won't find a better deal to get this type of tax return prepared competently.What's mind blowing is that you entered into the life of a multi state landlord and somehow did not think that would significantly complicate your tax filings to the point where a competent professional would ask to be adequately compensated for the effort, knowledge level and time such a tax return would take.

A little about myself below:Name: Si or Simon; dealer’s choiceBorn: 1990Location: northern New JerseyJob: Work in compensation at one of the large investment brokerage firms (prior experience at a couple major human capital consulting firms)Why Real Estate?

@Wayne Brooks a good broker could easily offer him that FHA rate with Borrower paid compensation by charging a broker fee but also matching a lender credit to offset the broker fee.

I have met quite a few victims of these types of operators.

This will make you more effective in negotiations, but more importantly, help you realize what your strengths/weaknesses are and how to utilize or compensate for them, respectively.

The only times there have been any extensions is when congress votes them in for a class of tax payers like hurricane or wildfire victims.  

If the city wants to force eminent domain on the building can I file 2 separate claims for compensation?

A couple things to consider: 1) Ensure you have an idea of highest and best use (probably retail it sounds like) for your grandfather's property - this could be very important as it relates to the location of the sewer easement so as not to restrict or complicate future development (maybe in the back of the property so that your neighbor would not be digging up your parking lot when a repair or upgrade is needed); 2) Only grant an easement the necessary size required - 25 feet seems excessive unless that's required by state or city ordinance; 3) Make sure your grandfather is adequately compensated for you and his time to get this done. 

I come to that same partnership with75K to compensate him for my half so now own it 50-50 and are ready to do a 1031.

Sometimes the contractor may allow you to perform some of the work and offer you compensation, however if you have a private or hard money loan with a firm schedule you may be subject to a hardship, and penalties increasing your holding costs drastically.
