Should use an extension cord to plug the fluegelhorn into the old outlet it was supposed to be plugged into (heavy duty) Or should I just call an electrician and have them run a new line.

Unmitigated water damage becomes mold damage and and there is the potential of extensive smoke damage in the same airspace.

Also wonder how I could wave rents for some that are out of work and still collect from others.

Talk to some other tax pros, file an extension, and don't leave a bunch of money sitting on the table for no reason. 

So due to such unforeseen circumstances, we are requesting a closing extension date from the Seller to allow us to obtain financing to get the deal done.

But due to the health crisis, I will let it default to M2M until the crisis is over, and crisis is over when the eviction suspension is lifted.during the M2M extension period they still have to pay rent, and if rent is short you will start applying the double deposit to the rent until the deposit is depleted.Hopefully by then the situation is better where they can move out and part way amicably.I don't think I would do showings at this time, and this is a most likely a moot point as more and more states are heading to close all non-essential businesses.

They're all sitting home anyway collecting paychecks from our tax dollars

I just wanted to point out, unless the deal is off the table I would stay in touch with the seller or consider asking them for an extension on the contract.

I had to go file a deed in person last week in Durham county and now on another transaction the seller I'm buying from is having to go to the courthouse to collect the data the attorney needs to close our transaction.

To determine whether the property qualifies for protection under the “grandfather” provision would require more extensive research of the historical zoning maps and more information about the past use(s) of the property.It sounds like the particular lender you mentioned is going to require you to take some action with local government before they approve the loan (whether obtaining written confirmation that the property is grandfathered, confirmation of re-zoning, or perhaps even simply a letter from Knox County stating that they are not going to seek to strictly enforce zoning with respect to the property might suffice).
