At our firm (tax advisory) we are offering a service to help clients with this and we expect many tax/cpa/law firms will as well. 

Just an opinion but this is the scenario we are investing against.  

In fact we are working towards a 5 year extension on the existing lease.

In reality this strategy still works, but we are having to leave more of our own money in the deal because prices are high and/or rent won’t justify maxing the cash out refinance because interest rate is high.

Moe then willing to discuss what we are doing with anyone who wants to chat

We would never want to make a client feel as if we are scripted, heartless or looking out for ways to maximize our fee structure.  

We are in the same boat here in New Jersey.

That's why I am here. first thing I learned in RE is I for sure dont know everything and very few folks do.. we are all learning even at 50 years of doing deals I learn new things every week.. thats why I am on BP you have also 50 states rules and laws are not nationwide so I like to know how each state works when it comes to transactional real estate and development.

We need everyone that is in this chat room and if we know anyone that has done business with growth equity and is in the same situation that we are in file a claim with the SEC

All I can say is no way we would be where we are today had we gone the out of state route.
