An extra 20% on the cost upfront with an extended warranty on parts and labor could be thousands saved in Capex years from now.

The venture backing is huge at this stage because it helps extend the life and viability of these platforms when we go through a slowdown.  

I don't see any way to get that kind of cash before the lease is up in July, and I have no need to extend it.

thank you everybody,I should probably give more details at the start, but here is few extra things that may answer some of your questions:this is a wholesale deal for cash. the price already takes into account the current state of the property and now I am trying to get little bit off the price to account for possible holding and eviction costs.my main thing is just to know what to expect when trying to get the tenant out.my plan:1. try to see if the tenant leaves before lease is over and pay him lump sum for doing so.2. eviction due to violations (trash everywhere)3. give them at least 30 day notice before the lease expires that we are not extending on month to month and then deal with them if they don't leavequestion for Greg:"If they agree, take 10 $100 bills and tear them nearly in half (you keep at least 51% of the bill) and give them the smaller part."

The lease they are on extends well into the summer of 2016.

It is remote as you described and that might be extended because who wants to really live there?

I will like to extend a warm welcome to you as well.                           

I haven't extended outside my area just yet.

It is currently open to all bidders, the bidding period reads "extended", and it says FHA financing: uninsured.
