But researching for an investment property the rabbit hole pulls me in all different directions. 

We're updating our business model and looking for more automation and I don't particularly want to go down the Podio rabbit hole if automation is out of the question.

You said your agreement was to benefit based on monetary contribution.

You may be doing more harm than good focusing on short term monetary gains at the expense of how many in the industry will perceive you moving forward.

Ultimately whichever way you choose it seems like you're going to take some monetary hit in some way.

I just closed on a great one where the owner occupant backed out because in her mind it had "holes" in the roof !

I'm not OK with being in the hole at all on a monthly basis - I don't know about you. 

if you drill a hole in a live tree it shoots water out like   well you know.. 

But there will not be a monetary penalty for filing late in this case.PS.

These buyers benefitted from lower monthly payments and avoided the intense competition seen in subsequent years.As inflation picked up, partly due to increased government spending and monetary policies, interest rates began to rise sharply, reaching around 7.5% to 8% today.
