Also is there any way I can avoid giving all of my property to the government?

Interesting, self employed people have the most sense of identity from their job of people not working in government or Non-profit: So maybe the push to get out of the cube is more about agency and meaning than we give it credit for..

Usually full of details and will normally range from 200 pages to 400 pages, eh, government entities.

There is no land that is free from government regulations.

I have never heard that a rent has to be a minimum amount and this amount is determined by the government.

Government generally moves pretty slow too.

- what government agency would I contact to see how much I would be paid through vouchers?

The financial sector isn't leaving and manufacturing in the greater area is already non existent.Either way the next 5 years will be an interesting ride in the area.

Only rent guarantee that would mean anything would be in a lease to the government and that can change as well, don't put weight on the guarantee part but you may have a great tenant.You have to take risks in business, if you can't sleep, your risk tolerance is too low. 

I have a lot to learn on development and bank relationships, I only know the deeper contract language of commercial and government contracts, they're not so involved on the financial side.
