One more question: What's a general start-to-finish timeline for starting a course a then obtaining your license and being able to legally practice as a salesperson/broker?

From what I understand, best practice in Chicago (which has an extremely pro-tenant system of laws) is to have the tenant sign an acknowledgement saying that the Lessor has disclosed any code violations.

Figure out what lease options are practical for you given your resources and offer those, ie, if it's not practical for you to offer a build-to-suit, then don't.Like William mentioned, being comfortable looking over financials will be key in figuring out whether to lease or not.

I practice probate law in Colorado Springs and assist investors in cleaning up title issues on probate properties.

This is from practical experience and not my personal opinion.

We currently have one commercial property that we've renovated for my wife's practice with a few offices that we still need to rent.  

Richard, no seasoning is rare and usually not the best practice.

Adding all things up, I ROUTINELY get to the conclusion that the listing is really worth about half of the asking price...Now I have to imagine that this is how MF selling/buying always is....So my question is, is it common practice to offer half ish of the asking price? 

Surely all 6 red flags, like their domain being a medical site as recently as October, their own company not ranking for its own brand name, and all examples of SEO rankings achieved for clients have no PPC ads running on them among others, will all be cleared up as a big misunderstanding once we speak. :)

I hope this is a part of a broader marketing plan  which includes a SEO, which is like a garden.
