We're still optimistic in the long term outlook of the investment and we're doing everything we can to ensure a successful venture for everyone.

Its also annoying that the prof forma has widely optimistic rents and downplays expenses such as cost for tenant lease up and vacancy. 

Optimistic but not motivated.
