They calculated that our equity contribution represented 12% out of the total project build out cost (3 million/25 million) and were giving us a bonus and granting 18% of the cash flow to us.

Is that little bonus room more valuable as it is?

Also, Brookland Park Boulevard is undergoing a transformation near Chamberlayne Avenue that may help Highland Park as well.Still, I don't like to bank on appreciation with real estate investments and I don't think that the housing stock in Highland Park will lead to the high end renovations going on in surrounding neighborhoods.

We were even offering a bonus to buyers agents, we often do on lower priced stuff.

If the emphasis is going to be on your own comfort and enjoyment of the property and any rental income is a bonus, then there's a set of deals for that pursuit...if the emphasis is going to be on a cash-flowing investment and any use you get out of the property is a bonus, then there's a set of deals for that as well.

And I can keep smaller tools in the storage cabinet underneath - bonus!

As a double bonus one of the other units I was concerned about (daughter of the owner) also decided to move.  

Both the basic entitlement and bonus entitlement. 

To the second question, we provide tons of extra bonus content when you purchase on our site with each book purchase.

Doing so may be considered mortgage fraud.You may want to consider being less aggressive on expenses relating to your farm business by doing things such as taking regular depreciation instead of bonus depreciation/section 179 expense if applicable.
