I will end up compromising on the liquidity.

I could see it might compromise pass through tax status, but I know very little about LLCs and don’t know if they are for me at this stage.

The wooden beam, for example, is something that I will not compromise on and will want the seller to repair.

Either  jump around and waver bright neon flags yelling and screaming hey hey heeeeey look at me look at meeee and you just don;t look very credible or be cool and collected, professional calm, but you won;t get noticed.So it is a compromise you have to look into.JUST colorful enough to be noticed yet still professional looking.Now after I shot you down, let me try to help you back up.The way I personally believe you can be noticable yet professional... is put a picture of your wife, girlyfriend on the card, let her wear a nice colorful top, and put your message on the card.Having a set of eyes (and a person) on the card, the recipients eyes will be drawn to hers.

It seemed like a good compromise.

BUT in compromise, I will give your client $1000 for an easement.

Obviously this strategy works (I do it), but there is a risk that you can over leverage and put yourself in a compromising position. 

Did it compromise load bearing joists or simply a small exterior area on one side of the property? 

But if it is the kind of partnership where he finds the property and you do the rehab...in other words, split up jobs, then maybe he should get paid for doing his part.In the end, a compromise is probably best.

Seller countered there would be no repairs, and sent a notice to perform (wednesday morning).I countered with a compromise of half the roof repair, and it was crickets from the seller.
