I want strong rents and I am unwilling to compromise much.  

In my area they can rent out at 1,000-1,200 all day long, and since there's so much demand, I can screen tenants properly without having to compromise just to avoid vacancy.

You're correct that improperly drafted documents and noncompliance could compromise the asset protection benefits of the structure. 

Perhaps a compromise. 

This is pretty typical in value-add deals...not the strongest cash flow (sometimes none at all) in the first year and it ramps up from there.Funding capX out of cash flow is just a bad idea because the cash flow in the early years is already compromised due to the lower rents and if you don't have the money to do the improvements you never get out of the rut.There is another solution and that is to raise all the money in the beginning but don't call all of the capital at once. 

Most are priced too high to provide adequate cash flow so don't compromise, keep looking and one will present itself.

Everyone is happiest / most compromising at the beginning.

If it's a good tenant and rental income is good, you may want to compromise, but you certainly have the right to if the lease says so.

So I'm a bit pressed for time.To be honest, I would be ok with a compromise too, such as a discount on the required work, but the guy has been very hostile and angry and yelling at me and not showing any remorse or understanding my perspective.

They want to just go in and do it so it;s done"(if the agent says yes they can go cut bushes)"While they were cutting the bushes it looked like there was a missing shingle on the rear roof of the garage""It's been missing for a year and it was there during your home inspection""Still though my clients feel it should be fixed because it compromises the integrity of the roof".......
