I think your income easily justifies a common-sense, time-proven method: increase earnings, reduce expenses, save, and invest.

Infrastructure is a big bill right now for many communities and is driving a huge increase in property taxes.

We're far enough in our design process to require engineering services, so we've begun submitting RFP's to our pool of construction firms.Received more funds this week but need to increase momentum to meet our fee schedule.

If the location is an A but the tenant paying higher rent was a B or a C then replacing the location with an A tenant at slightly less rent in some cases you can actually increase the value.Example if you had an (A) location QSR but tenant was Burger King franchisee and they went out the Burger King might sell at 7 cap.
