If it is a 100 unit franchisee and they are putting only 4 stores backing your location out of the 100 that is different.You would then need to see the other stores sales and compare them for rent to sales ratio for health score with the business and then see if their stores are at,below, or above store average for the national brand.It's not just only the sales they are doing but the rent ratio.

Also contact the NC Dept of Health and Human Services.

@Cathleen Ohannigan I am not sure if you found a solution to your dilemma.

Somehow, my cousin is convinced that if something worse were to happen to his parents (they are 90 and 88 yrs old with increasingly challenging health issues), and they would to be cared for in a nursing home, that the state of NJ would step in and claim all the assets to "pay" for their care.  

Hi friends,  purchased my first rental in may this year, got it rented in mid June, signed a 12 month contract with tenant, about a week ago tenant sent me an 'official' email that there is a mice/rat problem, although there were cheaper options I went with professionals who were charging me 7-8x only because this is a long term investment and I wanted to get it solved, the pest professionals sealed the attic and set traps, they followed by couple of times to remove traps and refill bait boxes, my tenant now sent me lease termination letter citing health concerns due to mice/rat problem, they paid for current sept month and said that I can keep half the deposit for Oct.What should I do here, they have three small kids so I understand the reason for concern but I am also doing my best to solve the issue, should I go ahead and accept their termination or should I fight it out, not sure if involving lawyer is good as I am trying to make some cash flow and not lose it.. please advice also I am from Texas and would love to hear about TX law on this.

You have to take full advantage of the seven years you have until you'll have to start paying four-figure sums monthly for your own health insurance.

She has a good job at the department of health in the city.

The local tenants tend to move faster but rent per sq ft is much less and when you sell cap rate tends to be higher on resale so less equity.Smaller box spaces they can act within 6 months time or less. 3 months time is more mom and pop or regional type tenant concepts from LOI, to lease execution, build out, getting certificate of occupancy, and starting to pay rent.Having ongoing corporate financial reporting and personal financials will be a key to looking at the health of a business way before they have to give notice to renew the option periods.

The dilemma we're facing is that the foreclosing attorney is insisting that there was a "Sale" that took place, and therefore the transfer tax needs to be paid, which they are basing on the assessed value (I'm assuming).  

I just don't see a 10%+ reduction in overall prices in Nashville in the near future, short of skyrocketing interest rates or the complete nationalization of health care.
