1. The court may deny the application upon such terms and conditions as justice shall require.
2. If the disposition affects real property and it appears that the net income thereof may be sufficient to make the disposition unnecessary within a reasonable time, the court may postpone the application from time to time and authorize the fiduciary to enter into possession of the property, to receive the rents thereof and to apply the net rents as directed by the court.
The court may deny a real-property disposition or postpone it when net income may avoid the sale, letting the fiduciary possess the property, collect rents, and apply them as directed. ★
