I just would be afraid since the property isn't tied up yet to bring in a potential investor.

The credit partner's credit is tied up long term so they receive 50% ownership of the property.

I do not know out your way but here most reputable contractors use professional computer automated construction accounting systems that can spit out a receipt in one second and most supply houses likewise have automated systems a contractor can simply tie into so there is no such a thing as duplicated accounting systems that would cost you extra time and money to produce a receipt for the client.

If I were in your shoes, I would get out of my own way, do what I do best and what makes me money.  

I live in a place with no hard freezes so, technically, with the right layout, you could abandon the old line and tie-in with a new line, digging trenches on the perimeter.  

Whenever I am asked that question, the inevitable shoe to drop involves some sort of credit issue, usually pretty egregious.I think prospective tenants with bad credit think that dealing with the owner will make it easier for them to get the place.

Overhead is high and unpredictable with HOA and the owner's hands are often tied.

Our income consists of cash flow from rental income from 40 SFH we own and manage ourselves (none of the homes have traditional mortgages tied to them).

Since commercial properties cap rates are in essence directly tied to interest rates, in the event of a 100 bps increase in interest rates over the next 18 months (which I believe is likely) I would fully expect cap rates to increase 100 bps as well and values to therefore decrease.

How or what is the simplest way to tie the knot on the deal.
