Yeah, I would try to drop and swap it.

HiDoes anyone have Commercial Lender/Bank referrals in TX who offer Interest Swap rate loans for a Retail/Office building?

I watch the threads here and see there are active members taking action in the market... thinking there is an opportunity to :* Meet other investors, swap information on what people are up to/working on.* Get "boots on the ground insight" from other investors.* Meet other investors that may have similar interest and may be open to taking down deals/properties as partners.If nothing else it will be a value add to connect with other investors and share learnings and insight.

And then the seller has to have a source of cash from somewhere that they can swap with the note. 

"Drop and Swap". 

So he swaps with Grandpa.  

First, you have to certify presence or absence of lead to every tenant or possible buyer and that's a deal killer to many - - not a knock down on price but a walk-away.Second, covering over will not hide the lead as the home inspectors use a high quality test that's more than just a swap on the surface, so you're going to deal with it one way or another.Get bids from certified lead abatement companies and solve it correctly - - you don't want a buyer coming back asserting fraud during the sale.

That way if things get messy, you can just swap the sheets and either take them home to do or wait until the next break in guests to get them back in rotation.Towels as well.

Swaps them out regularly to maintain their furnace and property and avoids costly repairsCheap - the landlord that won't fix or maintain anything,  Pays big bucks for big repairs because there was no maintenance along the way.

Don't think that working well with numbers would be a motivational factor, nor the ability to to conjure up spreadsheets.It is a swap from having **** managers tell you what and how to do whatever, AND there's a lot more face-face people work.IMO, REI is a direct path to stop spending your day benefiting Corp Am and start living your own dreams, soon enough that you can enjoy them.We went to Italy in 2006 and we're STILL talking about it.
