I'm assuming it's a big building so that would be something you should review in the by-laws in terms of what you're entitled to.I would get in touch with your personal accountant/CPA or perhaps a local real estate specialist in NYC (there's a few in the forums) regarding your scenario.

The biggest ego seems to coincide with the thinnest skin.

I can only speak from a lender's perspective, but we're going to want to see some "skin in the game" from the borrower.

I am a California realtor and certified investment specialist so I would love to be one of your contacts on your team.

I agree with Jay, I want to see the numbers, the experience of the sponsor and how much skin they putting in the game.

Be in your future mind and realize how important it is to identify the range of specialist that you will need for the life of those assets.  

Most lenders will not allow a subordinate lender without some skin in the game (at least 10% down from the borrower). 

Definitely a CPA question - not just any CPA but a specialist. 

I like these amongst ,many other right nowREXR - (Rexford) they are a niche (sub-specialist) in industrial warehouse/distribution/manufacturing in the southern California only urban or Infil area, they are not international like PLD - prologis, their MOAT is that SO-Cal has geographic limitation to new inventory, so they have rent pricing power that industrial in rest of country doesn't, also 26 million people in so-Cal and the 2 busiest Ports in country, their earning/revenue projections next few years are best in class, and they are cheaper on price to book than PLD or others, I own some and will buy a lot more in upcoming Recession, likely in next 6-12 months, when publicly traded equities will likely slide by 20-30% although their assets (physical buildings) are only going up in valueVICI- (casino REIT), used to be part of Cesars palace, then Caesars spun them out in 2018, to do sale leasebacks of their properties to take all that physical capex off the books.

There are more than one way to skin the cat, so ask people who are doing things that don't make sense to you how they are doing it.
