If you are asking $3M for the business and only have $50k of inventory on hand, then it probably doesn't make sense to separate it in the negotiation.Also, since you are selling to your partner, it may make a difference to him if he is going out of pocket to buy you out or if the business entity is buying and retiring your shares.It would seem to me that the cost of procuring inventory probably doesn't come into play.

Procuring capital for fix-and-flip projects was very hard in 2008 during the credit meltdown.

BTW, my interest in the rights of BFPs is to be armed in order to procure a settlement.

Explain to them that breaking a lease is not acceptable but you would be willing to work with them in return for allowing the property to be shown and that they will help get the property in tip top shape to procure a sale. 

@George Allen  I build new construction in Oregon my last Lake O house I built I sold for 650k which is the very bottom of our marketI know they are here but I have just not been a party to a transasaction that they were the procuring or selling broker.. does not mean they are not big time.. just me.. and my 200 escrows a year.. have not seen them on one hud...

He didn't represent me well at all.The seller had his own listing agent.Interesting to read how some comments are harsh only on presumption.You had a buyer's agent that didn't help you procure rent documentation???  

Identify target neighborhoods2. secure financing( if necessary)3. procure a trustworthy prop mgmt company that I can use for many moons to come.ICING ON THE CAKE4.

Last thing I want to do is a favor for someone and end up in hot water as the procuring cause if for some reason the deal tanked.. and as we know deals can tank.AS for multi.. not really anything I personally do but I have looked at a few lately in our market and they are selling at 3 to 4 cap... and when talking with brokers they say they have multiple offers and most are being bought by 1031 folks..

I'd like to add to them:  put in a clause in your lease that reads 3 or more domestic disturbance police visits may be cause for termination of lease, and: the tenant authorizes the landlord to procure a copy of any police incident report.The first clause is self-explanatory, the second--many police departments will NOT issue a police report to anyone not directly involved with an incident. 

Until you procure an interest from someone in the chain of title, you have no claim to the property and no claim to open up a probate action.
