They are now losing them.

Bagwell was one of my favorite players, for years.

He and his partner Paul are based in Connecticut, but Than lived here in Chicago for a while as he attempted to make a go of it as a player for the Chicago Bears.So look up Than and Paul.

Right now if you know the players so to speak you can buy a development cheaper then you could develop it yourself.

Since I'm losing my job, I'm pre-emptively trying to avoid defaulting on the loan.

Have you ever heard that the first person that talks during negotiations loses?

(in this case I would have to say $5,000 or more in the bank) Also do you have any other assets that you can use to help leverage a better rate on the loan itself, you see the less likely it is for a lender to lose their money the better rate you will get.

The main problem seems to be that we could lose the tenant in 2 years.

However, buying a rental at or near retail is a guaranteed way to lose a bunch of money (in negative cash flow).

However, I would like to point out that the REA has an option...walk away...fine, no deal...everyone loses then.You can't negotiate, if you don't have a spine.
