That financing would reduce the acquirers out of pocket costs to approximately $777,000,000.This price reflects (A) a New Buyers premium on the Malls of $50,000,000; (B) Investment Banking fees $36,840,000 and (C) legal expenses for our clients of approximately $7,000,000.

Unfortunately, with my demanding job, and my partners demanding business, we were not able to devote enough time to start the company, made many rookie mistakes, and eventually put the business “on hold.”One of the things I learned about this service based business, is that you are always working in it, there is not an opportunity for passive income or repeat customers.I spent six months reflecting on the risk I took and taking the time to determine the direction in which I wanted to move.
