It all started when my wife's college friend offered me an opportunity to invest in a commercial property.

You can offer whatever you think is appropriate and message the seller with your reasoning.

@Tom OchiengI would reach out to a real estate attorney for specific advice on this situation since you already have one tenant who is being difficult.On a side note, when I have inherited tenants, I have been most successful when I have provided longer non-renewal notices, like 60-90 days, and offered to assist with moving costs.

Consider offering equity partnerships, debt financing with profit sharing, or preferred equity, where investors get a fixed return before you share profits.

I feel this gives me the flexibility to find the right solution for my client and not just sell what my bank offers.

I really appreciate you reaching out and offering your support.

Is this an offer to sell, invest, or broadcast?

They will look at the ENTIRE cost of the project and calculate what they can offer you in loan amount.

I'm just here to note that an LLC does not offer a single tax benefit, nor does it allow any deductions that aren't allowed without an LLC. 

I'm looking to not only share my experiences but also offer my services to those who might need them.
