The harsh reality is that the current RE Brokerage model is dead.

I know that's a legal question and we were at the attornies today for that.. but they are thinking knowing the potential value of the property over 50 million and our option price is only 5.5 he may not go easily.one thought I had is to just not make our May payment and come June 15th the option Is voided for none payments.. of course we lose our 1.5 million we put in.. but I am pretty sure I can do a new deal without the other partner.. the other partner is persona non grata and of course he could make the payment but he has deep legal issues so won't be doing that.. so my question is    is there a way that this seller who has taken 1.5 million in option money from us over the last 10 years and he can cancel that deal and just strike a deal with us basically 3.4 of the same partners under the same terms and conditions and just rewrite the deal in a new entityOr will he have to claim all that 1.5 million as ordinary income in 2018 which would be pretty harsh on him.. in fact I don't think he has the money to pay it.. so he would probably have to sell the land he could not encumber it.. because of the long term nature of the land  its 120 acres right on the border of the city limits 1.5 miles from Intel.. its going to come in one day and when it does katy bar the door on value..

The experiences of 2007 taught me a harsh lesson that has prepared me for success.

In Milwaukee it is the harsh winters.

While there is data to support that claim, the loss in value in property during recessions was not too harsh - except for 2008.

I know this is harsh, but take a look at others (go pretend you are booking and look at how well thought out the furniture, colors and theming are).

@Karen Casey just a thought that “good-looking tile” doesn’t look good when tenants don’t keep up with grout cleaning or use harsh chemicals.

If you feel they're being too harsh, think about their intent.

Sorry to be harsh but people with zero money should not buy real estate.

@Chae Young Hahm I might sound harsh here but there is no texting compliance for cold SMS marketing.
