Question to the group my partner and I owe several houses in a portfolio and wanting to sell them in a perfect world it would be nice to sell all at the same time not probably not going to happen, we have a offer on one of the houses and a almost double then it appraised for in turn the Bank told us we would apply to balance of principal were OK with that but now the Bank said they want us to put  additional money down over the sale price or they will not release the property since it effects the cash flow, does this sound right, we also almost had two sold and hey told us we would have to put the total sale price on principal and pay realtor fees out of our pocket.

Bob's brother just got into town and he's going to stay over (Bob's brother was just released from prison and needs a place to crash.

.- Insight on the government's forbearances and moratoriums..more importantly their potential impact - Too early, it VERY likely will get extended but what that specifically looks like is a total guess. 

I am not a Coach or Guru, but I will try and make some sense of this for you...If you put the EMD up yourself, then you would have needed to include in your assignment contract where to release the EMD deposit upon closing otherwise it was applied to the purchase of the property upon closing.

I’m quite handy and could probably make a permanent fix to any aged machine if parts were readily available, that’s the only reason I considered extending their life.

@Scott E.If they are in fact over extended, wouldn't it make more sense to keep a good chunk of that money as cash reserves rather than put most or all of it into paying off the debt?

If you have a 6 month contract and buy a house and your contract doesn't extend I would think that would be outside your control and the intent was there.  

This is your opportunity to set boundaries so they're not texting you at 11pm on a Sunday night to ask a question about extending their lease.

I am also thinking of grading the land to slope away from the property and extending downsprout.

A normal 2 x 4 wall takes R13, which means you want to add another 5 to get to R19, you can achieve that by adding 1" foam on the outside ( R 5.6). you should break down your costs and find out what is best for you: add 2" framing and 2" extension jambs to windows( material and labor) + R19 -- leave existing 2x4 and spray foam-- install 1" foam on exterior,R13 interior, extend jambs and trim on exterior ( if vinyl siding that can easily be covered with aluminum).
