The deadline is already passed, and they are basically thinking the situation is fluid because there haven't been consequences.

I found this device which may prove useful and it has an APP:https://techcrunch.com/2015/09/15/fluid-is-a-smart...

Newly minted leases cap rate is lower but generally if lease has 7 years or more primary term left you can land typically higher cap rate and still get good debt on them.Also I see some Dollar Tree takeovers of former pharmacies in good locations at lower purchase prices in the 2 million plus range.The NNN market is fluid.

Although the reality of that is somewhat fluid at this time.Four steps and two are just paperwork.  1.

I have one of those "black light" flashlights to detect bodily fluids. 

Besides the obvious ones of no room in schools, traffic, there's ones not often thought of, not enough electricity in the power grids needing more transmission lines, or water pipes to supply water.

So I think there's a lot that can change, and the "goal" would be relatively fluid to the other accomplishments you've made that year. 

I have never seen a logging show that there was not some oil or hydraulic fluid spilled somewhere that just goes part and parcel with big ironalso on the fill situation that can take years and years to get clean fill put in there then it has to settle as you will want to make compaction you just don't dump dirt spread it around and wa la your ready to go.. other wise you have to bring it in  in lifts with water and compactor .. like dozer sheep foot vibrator rollers etc.. but if the city or country does not care its your risk for ground movement 

When I see issues that scare away first-time buyers (foundation, termites) - I typically see an opportunity for better returns - because less seasoned investors will get spooked and I'll have less competition when I'm buying.That being said Bruce has a point - do you want to buy a car with a recently repaired transmission or the untouched factory part? 

As to negotiating, try not to be rigid, but, be fluid which allows for some give and take.
