My ultimate goal is to help each other build a stronger network.

Further, the owner felt that by remaining in title ownership he was in a stronger position, so he was much more willing to forgo a significant down payment.The master lessee was able to bring the occupancy up to 80% by providing periods of free rent.  

Also, you can make a stronger offer if you are using cash.In my area, and given the units that I have been considering, this would result in about $100/m additional cash flow after debt service, and assuming 8% vacancy, conservative estimates for taxes and maintenance.

That could be a costly game to play, I know, because it personally cost me $2,000,000…once in the 80’s and once again in the 90’s.I have bounced back from that experience 10 times and am far stronger and smarter because of it.As an Investor, homeowner, first time investor or company owner, how can we win and get the highest level of return possible?

If you can do it on your own, which obviously you already have, lenders will drop their rates, your network stronger, and simply leverage leverage leverage and defer defer defer.

It looks like I have to set even stronger limits so he gets the point, to be able to last til the end of the lease, but because he said "according to my attorney" I want to make sure that when doing so I have a lawyer back-up plan --- just in case.

Now, the "LLC police" aren't watching over your every move, so at times, the ability to bring suit can be a stronger case.
