When the balloon as stated earlier is near they will bend and take 6.5 or 7 or whatever clears them out of the property. 

I do have a small commercial building but I am by no means any kind of an expert on retail/office, industrial, special use cash flow...etc....The major challenges really you create by bending your own rules.

I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say, “This I have done.â€Thanks!!!

As stated above by Gary, there is always another deal around the bend.

We moved to the Bend Oregon area from southern California, so I'm familiar with the prices there.

:-) Maybe Bend, Oregon prices are better for you? 

Also noticed you are in Bend,Oregon now.

I am a broker/investor in the South Bend area.

That meets the rule of thumb of buy and hold for a year and the improvements just happens to be an entire house rather then a fixer upper.Not trying to "cheat the system" or bend any rules, but just curious

I would imagine that you would bend over backwards of existing clients in a way that you wouldn't go someone who randomly pinged you BP, Trulia, etc.Maybe I'm wrong, who knows...
