While this can have marketing issues for some owners, you can break up terms for renewal that stage maturities at different dates.

Most recently though, I had a couple break up.

You both have to be on the deed and the mortgage, which means that if you break up you will need to refinance and one of you will have to buy the other one out, but who's going to be bought out and what will be the basis for the price you agree on? 

The buyer could break up an additional outparcel and sell.

So if there is a breakup...then what.

As long as people break-up, health situations, death, fires, unemployment, crime, low income, bad weather, and lazy people are around, there will always be deals for a great investor to help someone in a funked up situation. 

National City (now Citi) and Chase wanted to use banking reform to break up the JP Morgan monopoly.The big banks have played the same game this time around with RESPA.

All I had was my assumptions, and however you want to break up that word, I now know that I need to be better at due diligence BEFORE I go into a deal rather than later. 

So, why do so many people break up?

In my case it was to add a meter for irrigation so as to avoid paying sewer for it.If you have a multifamily building with one meter, the real cost is not the cost to add a meter, but the cost to break up the consumptions.
