But this time, I thought I’d share a deal that, if everything executes to near perfection, would signal a victoriously blissful conclusion for the borrower and lender.

This shift may signal changing buyer preferences or market adjustments.% Paid in Cash: Cash purchases made up 60.0% of sales, down slightly from 61.4%.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

I am looking into retaining a lawyer. 

In the sales contract the option to limit the seller to retaining the deposit instead of suing for liquidated damages is usually selected.

Lastly, it could be that the bank is going to portfolio your loan at below-market pricing because they want the entire banking relationship (deposits, transaction processing, consumer lending, etc) or simply want the risk (yield).Lots of local and regional banks have been retaining loans at really aggressive pricing recently as the current environment makes this favorable for them.

They have a MAJOR conflict of interest - they don't get paid until they place a tenant, yet they have ZERO liability for the performance of that tenant.If you hire an agent, you better make sure you retain control over screening & approval.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. there's a lot of ways like petitioning, confidential sale price, buying other assets to offset and depreciating them in year one, etc. but the main way I would do it is to invest in ground up developments with tax abatements which pushes even higher cash flow and then to keep them as retained earnings or in a non taxable structure depending on your equity position.
