I was thinking about the possibility of having a digital lease agreement on a Microsoft Surface that could be programmed with required fields and signed right on the tablet.

From press releases, their (Quiznos) bankruptcy shouldn't affect the independents directly, but is a clear signal to be careful.

The hold back is then released as rehab progresses.

In this General Release it would seem that the seller/optionor/assignor is paying X$s for the release from the buyer.

I am located in Houston, and 2014 appraisals recently were released.

Also, I've developed relatively sophisticated referral-based selling strategies that that require me to educate the referral sources and show them both to how manage the client's expectation(s) and more recently, very specific ways they are to refer the client.So, I utilize offline and online advertising and, obviously, give a lot of thought to each and how they fit in the overall marketing mix.I like direct mail, inbound telemarketing, well-placed, industry/profession specific print ads, direct mail, paper & ink newsletters, public speaking, press releases, blogging & forums (limited social media), direct sales (in person), some conferences and specialty advertising (mugs, pens notepads) and a few others I won't mention. 

Also, in the future, I would advise you to not release any portion of the security deposit until you have regained possession of the unit and have completed your final accounting.  

If the military made you move away, you can extend the period 10 extra years.

The new construction loan will payoff the lot release on the A and D loan..
