It has been our experience that most lenders will extend a secured line of credit to between 70% and 80% of the value of a residential property.

And once you get a reputation of doing 'good deals', assuming you keep the banking relationship 'clean' and productive, the banks will extend you the benefit of the doubt.

Tenants living in the home want to extend the lease an extra 6 months because of building a home but the tax hit would be large if the capital gains tax has to be paid on the entire gain from when the home was purchased. 

On Friday and Saturday it extends to midnight.

The tenant is willing to stay longer, when we run the #'s the short term rental income is almost exactly the same as extending the tenant's lease for an additional 8 months.We see pro's and con's of both options, keeping the tenant thru February 2018 or having the tenant leave at the end of June 2017.Any thoughts would be appreciated.

All the gutters and sump pump spouts are not extended away from the house.

The part that bothers me is that if the tenant wants to renew, extend or even sign a multi year lease, the realtor would get a commission each and every year for doing little to nothing?!?!

If sufficient funds are available you could do a reverse exchange and purchase the up-leg first and then sell the down-leg.You could put contingencies in the sales contract that give you/client the right to extend closing.  

Although I know of some motels that have sort up upgraded the rooms to extended stay residences. 

The tenant did not mention his personal property being damaged and he should have insurance to cover his own belonging.If the tenant had renters insurance, maybe his coverage would extend for displacement and then his insurance company would go back after the landlords insurance for mitigated damages.
