I have had several discussions with them and there response is that if I'm not willing to pay they need to buy back the property.

I then would have my tax cpa enter in or do it after discussing tax based items (depreciation- MACRS, reserves, year end accruals, reserves, etc.).

Unless you're in a Class A Neighborhood like Palmer Woods, Indian Village, Sherwood, etc,. the additional rent probably won't support the cost to build:(More profitable to take the build funds and buy another property.DM us if you'd like to discuss more...

Reverse trolling is posing a vague question in your practice area to allegedly spur discussion, but it's always to get business.

I'm going to call the city tomorrow and discuss.
