Hiring a new PM is not going to fix this I'm afraid, because it's simply a math problem.

For these owners, the future of office space looks so grim that the best option is to simply give up. 

I’ll budge and “grudgingly” give up to 155 to let them win but I’m also completely okay with losing this deal. 

A lot of people will take a str at the beach when they live in Orlando or inland Pinellas simply because it's 95 degrees out and if you can get a pool and a beach within 100 yards of your front door - why not!!! 

What could be the win win situation.

Could you simply look at buying in Austin with only 3.5%-5% down as a new primary residence and converting your Midland property into an investment with a monthly cashflow of $500?

Its simply a cost of doing business and paying the fee's associated with the risk.  

If you simply don't know or can't easily find out - making multiple offers can be a great way to help meet the sellers needs. 

Another comment: A year ago I told someone that marketing to raise money would be 10-15% meaning expect to spend $10-15k to raise $100k and anything under 7% was winning if done at scale.

It seems like the IRS is simply giving me as the organizer, or managing member the ability to choose one or the other scenarios, with either a clause in the operating agreement, or written on the Articles of incorporation/formation, or simply by a Members Resolution.
