Since we have an accepted offer, if I propose a price alteration due to these problems, can they back out?

I would also lock the thermostat so that the tenants would be unable to alter the temperature.

Anyway, maybe I'll use an alter ego on twitter for the 2012 commentary... but for now, whatevs!

I have heard about the llc being viewed by a court as an alter ego of the owner if single member and thereby "piercing the veil" so to speak.

I'm not going to pretend that one event will change it, but I do know that when we prove to people that it is possible to have a conference/tradeshow in the real estate investing space that isn't about the upsell from stage, things will change.We must alter expectations, because right now, we're fighting an uphill battle.

You will have to dig to see where the property is at in the process.When I worked for developers we would keep things tightly under wraps so people didn't have much time to mount opposition to the plan.The zoning attorney also tries to picks times where most of the public won't show up.Even if you can't get the level of stories or use changed you could argue the developers finishes need to be higher grade and style.That alone might push them to another location because of cost.Once the project is altered to a certain point where the developer can't build density or has to make too many improvements to the roads,traffic lights,high end finishes to the build etc. the project becomes dead.Apartments right now are hot.Many plans call for more town homes but it is not profitable for many developers to build that in this environment.

This will hopefully translate into first dibs for myself and my investors.

That translates to fewer renters, fewer tenants, and most importantly, fewer jobs.2.

Not yet present in notes, IMO.We see this translate into lower bids due to conservative approaches.

I usually try to get at least four who say they will be there, which usually translates into two or three actually showing up.I've used an agent once.
