@Misael Carlos VeraWhile seemingly unrelated I find exercise and diet to be huge in helping me stay positive.

I recognize it in myself but I exercise self control.

I'm gonna exercise & eat healthier/less. 

I ask most of my new investor clients in Milwaukee that question – it’s just a mental exercise to snap them out of the cash-flow-exclusive thinking and show that there is a bigger picture.

This is used as a stop-loss measure of last resort should the lender exercise their right under the clause.

There are very good reasons why most carriers prohibit the exercise which typically leads to a frustrated tenant as he seeks to comply with the requirement.

In 2006 they exercised Eminent Domain against our property but never acquired it because the developer fell through.

One other issue: if you are structuring the deal as a lease/option, wouldn't it be absolutely the right thing to pay lot rent directly to PM (at least before the option is exercised)?

Now that this whole situation has been fleshed out by the amazing members on BiggerPockets, it's time to move forward with a plan of action.It has been ascertained that the building cannot exist on its own legal parcel and obtaining a variance from the City will be a futile exercise.

This way when you are up for renewal and they're complaining again you've incrementally increased rents and they're still somewhat under market allowing you to exercise your strong landlord guns of the "take it or leave it" position. 2 years isn't very long.
