@Eric Upton Nice to meet a fellow LC investor. 

I'm aligned to you and Thomas and will move this tenant to market value and if they can't meet that bring in a qualified tenant who can. 

In need of suggestions for General Contractors, Realtors, Wholesalers, Lenders (Hard/Conventional), Attorneys (RE/Contract), and Meet Up groups in the west Georgia area. 

I would be happy to provide contact info, or set up a meeting for you if that would be of help to you.
