I am not a CPA and am not providing legal advice.

Specialty is in foreign national financing so I'd be happy to provide insight and run some numbers for you once you've narrowed down your options.

In my experience it is common and customary for the landlord or builder to provide TIA, tenant improvement allowance, to the tenant to assist if not cover the majority of the internal buildout. 

What advice can you provide if any. 

There is a risk but one thing you can do to minimize is to have them provide information - full names, address, where they work, etc.

Denver Union Station Project (Colorado): The city exchanged several smaller parcels of land with a private developer, who in turn constructed a mixed-use development that included retail, office space, and residential units.

I would love to partner with anyone, learn from anyone and do anything I can to provide value.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Those who teach and provide information are providing a service. 

It is a small town, definitely a tertiary market right now, but that is where opportunity is going to be found.I think LTR, in the right location, can provide enough revenue annually to cover all holding and leverage costs while the resident pays down the principle and the demand in the city sustains slow and steady appreciation.
