Getting a partner is your only option.

Despite diligently analyzing Zillow and MLS properties, viable options seem limited.

Or if the person you're working with is a broker, and the original lender doesn't offer that option, they can take your file to another investor.

Hey @Chad Nassar,I would be happy to look into your options for you.

1st, good tenant, didn't want to ditch but only option for me was either evict (at Christmas) or figure out temporary lodging.

If so, it really does open up your options as you would most benefit from a CPA who specializes in real estate.

What would be my safest option here?

but what you do all depends on what it is refrigerators waiting typically isn't an option.

If so, I like this place (uotorahonten - apologies for the link being in Japanese): http://tabelog.com/kanagawa/A1401/A140101/14006982...It's mainly seafood, but there's other options too. 

I'm considering the wrap option so that this time frame could be extended and he could be free to go get a new car, house, etc... without this mortgage effecting his ability to finance.
