I used to work at Toray Composites manufacturing carbon fiber material for aerospace companies.

Just wanted to give my  $.02 before you find yourself out on the golf course with what you believe is a carbon fiber umbrella, when it is in fact nothing more than a vinyl wrapped, steel lightning rod. 

You can have external sidings in either stucco or fiber cement for strength and less maintenance.

Asbestos is super tiny fibers that if not removed and cleaned the right way will only create a "spill" and will cost you a lot more than if you just get a GAC to do it from the get go.

Hardyplank, fiber board (junk!)

No national chain of any type (or most business of any moderate size) wants to run their business off a DSL line, since every second of downtime can costs huge dollars they are probably looking for business class, fiber-based service potentially using a provider they already contract with as part of their IT services.I'm in agreement with others here, add the 50k in monthly installments over the course of the lease and thank them for the improvement to your building.

I can tell you that your property absolutely does not require any testing for asbestos unless there is some kind of work being done that would affect or release asbestos fibers into the air.

The future owners want a fiber optic cable run to the center of the house so that they can use ATT's Uverse TV plus internet.

You can argue about grit and moral fiber and self-worth all day long and why some people are really special and able to overcome personal difficulties because they're made of The Right Stuff, but poverty and abuse cripple people in many ways.When you're landlording low-income property, it becomes very clear to you that the American dream devolves into a nightmare for many people at some point.

It has been a fantastic purchase.2) I include all utilities, fiber optic internet, and parking in the lease so it makes it easy for a prospective tenant to say yes. 3) It sounds like there are multiple configurations possible with the space. 9 small offices could be any number of tenants from 1-9. 4) Cap rate is helpful, but only to a point.
