@Racheal StoykI sent you a private message about the bonus forms of the book 

The casino is bringing some gloom to retail tenants who fear that the casino will strip some of their business, and the industrial/warehouse tenants lament the inevitable traffic woes.

@Bill Manassero  every market has its pluss and minus and every market money can be made.buy and hold in todays market is a little different as it tends to be quite static in most mid west markets IE rents are stable and not really moving up or down.and the ship may have already sailed a bit in PDX.. with prices and rents rising 20 to 40% in the last 2 years.. so if you bought rental two years ago in PDX your rents have gone up significantly.and as the added bonus your properties have appreciated 20 to 30% as well over the same time. 

Add in some bonus point such as a hot market, University, and a thriving economy, with a YOUNG age demographic, and now you're talking about <10% vacancy year round.

Could you touch on and maybe give an example of how bonus depreciation works, I am not familiar.

From an asset protection standpoint it is also a bonus that you can implement more anonymity because you can have your attorney sign for the land trust, removing your personal name from public record.This isn't legal advice, just my opinion as a real estate investor.

You could go with a fixed firm price, but ultimately you might pay a bit more than it otherwise would have cost to have those assurances, as they'll pad their bid to cover unknowns.Unless you're willing to pay a bonus if they come in under time (and of sufficient quality) I'd be hesitant to try and push a penalty. 

Bonus points for paying early, even. 

It might get messy timing wise with your relocation bonus but something for you to weigh.

If someone uses the promo code, they get $100 off a Tesla Roof and I get referral bonuses towards future Tesla products if someone uses the link.
