I took two business law courses in college.

Quit and started a business which I ran for 15 years. 

I showed them the whole business model and spreadsheet...We ordered the Feasibility study and appraisalThen they gave me a Term Letter that states everything even construction cost analysis by their 3rd partyThats where we are atwe have a GAP of $2.7MWe came up with the strategy last night.. that at the very least we need $1.5M cash to pay a balloon payment by June 27 or it forecloses... the lord will not let that happen.So I have the green light from the Lord to talk to all the interested investors as He is opening up the doors of Favor

If you want to buy other properties, I would place that under a business strategy or business goal.2.

That could include business, law, financial, project management, etc.
