I'm worried that if they break their lease and leave, that leaves me with 3 offices to try to fill quickly, all of which are slightly more expensive than the going rate.I had a thought about offering to this tenant (who is interested in the 3 offices) to invite her to go in on the purchasing of the property, maybe inviting her to be a 10% owner, the thought being that if she has some skin in the game, she would be less likely to cut and run and leave me high and dry. 

@Adam CraigHI Adam,You like red, a  dark red might work, but  maybe for the trim instead of the door, with sand color for the main part, and an earth color for the doors (front and back) to make them look "inviting".Whatever colors you choose, it's always wise to have the painters try them on a small part of the front so you can see them before you commit to buying several gallons.Sherwin Williams codes:Good Luck!

But heck you are good looking.. they will probably invite you in for tea!

As I indicated I have had numerous offers to pay less, and initially I was seriously considering switching to get something probably in the 5 to 6 percent range.

I invite you to shift your mind set from recourse loans ( the ones you’re referring to) and start considering non-recourse options, which will take you the syndication route.When I started thinking about syndication, it took me a while to let go of my preexisting beliefs of having to control every single step of the process, including fully controlling the property.

There have been numerous people on BP talking about how they paid application fees but they could never get their loans closed on any deal brought to the company.

Thanks for the invite on the 19th, but I will be just getting home to CA after a week on the road.

Relationships and past experience pay a huge part, my experience is meetings with banks can be more like interviews than you may expect.Terms for your contract... tie up the land for as long as you absolutely can while you go though DD ,Design, Permitting.Costs per LF of roadway are all over the place and highly dependent on numerous other factors.good luck!

I am just worried if there are a numerous amounts of things that I should be preparing for before starting my classes or even if the classes will go over them?
