Kiavi, Anchor, Civic just to name a few.

The next thing we will do is list the properties again as the Customer in the Customer Center, because we need our rental property to be the ANCHOR that enables us to know (at a glance) where this tenant lives. 

I would suggest that you anchor your renovation spend to your projected profit for a year on the unit.

I work for a large Grocery anchored shopping center REIT and the VP of commercial banking is begging me to somehow get her some of those deals.You should give her a call.

This was an anchor property for me - I was able to pull out equity over the years with a couple lines of credit to fund additional investments.

I personally have owned properties that anchored me down more than propped me up.

*side note, I live in Agoura Hills with plans to drop anchor near you in the Paso/Atascadero area in the future. 

There are several fantastic markets around the country, but even the best property can turn into a huge anchor if the people managing it drop the ball.

Tie-Backs - Steel plates/anchors with tiebacks to a concrete footing or 'dead man' (similar to your option 2).We ended up installing the vertical steel I-beams 6ft oc, which are about $700 to $1000 each.

Definitely anchor them low, then make them drag you to the number that is reasonable.
