The time I've had the privilege to spend with you and your families has been amazing.  

Furthermore, I was thinking I could even pay off a nice chunk of the mortgage by using my own income from my 9-5 and beat the interest from a loan before it compounds.

The class could focus on the facts and teach things like how different financial concepts work such as APR, Compound Interest, Mortgages, Credit Scores, Stocks, Bonds, IRAs.I don't have any kids of my own, but are there any resources out there already geared towards teaching kids concepts like these?

I will discuss loan repayment options in a separate post but this is a simplified answer.This avoids the "compounding" of interest since the bank is legally only allowed to charge you in interest what you normally would have paid without forbearance.

The United property even has some desired facilities already built in — a swimming pool and four tennis courts.But these compounds by and large must look to the private market for a new reason to exist.Daniel Miranda, president of HSA Commercial Real Estate, said possibilities include turning some campuses into retail centers, perhaps outlet malls, or converting them for medical or educational uses.

If I wait 5 years on average to raise my rent I'd lose approximately a quarter million dollars over that 5 year period, ignoring any compounding effect. 140 doors x $33 increase x12 months x 5 years = 277,200.00.I am not in this business to give up $55k a year so my average tenant can save 33 bucks a month.

I rarely do that- so I hope you feel privileged :-)

Here is what I do in order to protect myself: If I'm putting together a deal that has a greater-than-normal risk, i.e. is particularly profitable for me, then I stipulate that the other party must engage the services of a credible real estate attorney and make them seek one out themselves (don't recommend one or you'll probably compound your troubles).

Just do a separate exclusive option to purchase and charge Option Consideration for the privilege.  

However, you could also have a policy that says that you'll expense items under a certain dollar threshold so that you are not capitalizing lots of little things that then need to be separately tracked and depreciated because it's not simple and obviously compounds over time.
