In today's market, if a tenant doesn't have a credit score than we ask of advanced rent.

Since you recently purchased, yours was reassessed at todays values and theirs are still working off assessments from years ago (possibly) and the people you bought from likely had an old assessment as well.

Hey everyone,In today’s market, it feels like making deals pencil out is tougher than ever.

They appear to have run into liquidity and cash flow issues currently and worst of all have gone dark and not shared any of the requested financial information.

So if you do an exchange you are saving $100k in taxes today.

These areas tend to attract more reliable, long-term tenants who are usually more financially stable and take better care of the property.

@Brad Srutowski, he sent me an email today if you still need a contact.  

I'm glad I said I had to talk it over with my financial advisors. :) 

If you believe you will be financially ready to build a year from now, perhaps you enter into a lengthier contract where you can obtain all of your building approvals and then settle at a later date.

My goal of course, is financial independence as soon as possible.
