If you run out of cash hoping for a change in income from this house, you will lose more than $20k...and be out of the game.You can always get your money back...you can never get your time back.Punt.Joe, do you not see merit in reducing the principle loan balance while "treading water"?

Specifically, I have trouble convincing others of the merits of being paid in equity in the business instead of being paid in labor.

And the unit has many merits beyond its celebrity neighbor. 

But, this tactic may go against what your state law merits (big disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer/legal counsel and don't want to steer you wrong, but your biggest possibility of any type of recourse is that lease; I'd probably reach out to legal counsel to see if there's anything the landlord has done to violate this lease).

Collateral returned and 330 Audrea Ln stood on its on merit... 

For example, I know an investor working towards tearing down a building and constructing a 15ish unit building near Lake Merit.

The local BP meet up is more informal and is more geared around networking and discussing local trends etc.Both have their merits, I've been trying to get to both of them.

When they are, it'll be listed.My recommendation is to ignore thus property and direct attention to opportunities with merit.

Good ones know it affords them the flexibility of moving whenever their job or personal situation merits, and they won't have to breach a contract they signed to do it. 

A laundry list of education, credentials, etc. is summarily dismissed as "elitist" or ivory tower merit badges.
