Hey @Amy E.

Trade and Professional Oganizations4.

Retail trades at highest per sq ft followed by office.Warehouse and Industrial trade at the lowest per sq ft leases generally.

Over the past two years the city has been executing this revitalization plan and the neighborhood is improving. 

Run the numbers for yourself but you seem to be trading tens/hundreds  of thousands of appreciation  dollars(capital gains) for a few hundred a month of possible cash flow.  

Past that you are at the mercy of the seller taking your E/M and walking...most wont because its a PIA to remarket and sell, the agent will be pushing to get it closed for the commission, but if you have a real deal and someone comes along with cash you could end up getting shafted.If your seller will play ball you can do things like L/O it for 30 days or something to get utitlities switched and tenants in. 

You trade price for terms, meaning that if the terms are right then the Buyer doesn't have to pay rock bottom prices.Without changing the direction of the boat if you like the basic structure of the offer I would counter with sales price and define the interest rate.

Bank employees reported that at different times an account signer would identify himself by presenting driver’s licenses from different states bearing significantly different names, and signatures executed in significantly different handwriting styles"....
