Certainly we hope as we successfully manage our properties that we will see an even better performance by these properties improving our cash on cash return for everyone.The big challenge is as I do my underwriting I am finding that the asking prices of the buildings will return a very slim cash on cash return (some as low as 1.5-2%).

Yes, you have a contract but that won’t stop his lender from foreclosing on him and chances of collecting any money from him afterward will be slim.
