You don't ask for a discount at Starbucks when there is not enough room for so much cream, syrup, and sugar, you sip it black or otherwise make it work.Fixing things as needed is sign of a good landlord, not a reason to reduce the rent!

When an individual has a medical marijuana card they also have various options of how to take it, other than smoking: edibles, creams, etc.Remember, you should always confirm all tenant-landlord advice against your local and state laws. 

I did a major renovation using a 203k loan.Pros: low down payment, they have a process that (as a first time remodeler) offers structure, the 10 percent holdback requirement and a few other processes (like requiring signed lien releases) protect you, and I believe they do allow some advance to pay for materials (which your contractor may need if thousands is stuck in that holdback account).Cons: hard to get the purchase contract with such a cumbersome process, you're sometimes limited to a certain set of contractors, you have to work with their inspectors to get payment which introduces a level of risk akin to city permit inspections, the inspector we worked with was maybe not the cream of the crop, if you end up running into extra costs you can't get that 10 percent holdback until EVERYTHING is done -- so if you have to pause to raise more funds your contractor may be waiting awhile, the banks can run this poorly (B of A sold my loan to another servicer and in the process the 10 percent holdback got LOST for like 60 days and eventually showed up as a large payment against my mortgage -- not what we were hoping for in our cash-short state!)

Hi Everyone!After a long chapter overseas, I will likely be heading back to the states to live in Philadelphia. I would like to link up with some great lenders, property managers, and other professionals ASAP. My goal...

Most of us don't double dip (except with ice cream).

The CREAM facebook group is really good. 

We have never worked together before but he's seen my passion, he trusts me, he has the capital, and told me that he needs to make an investment this year because he got creamed on his 2016 taxes.

It's all in what flavor of ice cream you like.

We have never had to "fire" any, the cream rises to the top and the ones who aren't that into it slowly drift away.

If you bought a building like that, you have another option than renting the commercial part out.You have 4 females under your roof.Maybe they could open their own hair salon in that front shop.Or turn it into a Detroit Coney Dog place, or a homade ice cream place.Who knows, they might make a fortune.Good Luck!
