We also offered half off the first month’s rent.

Took out a few walls downstairs to open it up and and added a half bath downstairs and a laundry room in what used to be a junky addition.

During the process, I'd take small salary ($1500 a week) that would come off my half of the profit in the end.

Lowes and Home Depot are clearly the easiest, and that ease has a value. 

The guy I liked and got along with great did a half *** job and I had to redo it myself.

They only want half the space (it is build for up to two tenants), and they need it brought up to vanilla shell, then some TI dollars on top of that.  10 year lease, and they will be paying a higher base rent, enough that I will recoup my vanilla build out and TI allowance over the 10 year lease. 

Three of the units are 3 bedrooms, 2 half baths + 1 full bath and two of the units are 2 bedrooms, 1 half bath + 1 full bath. 

Easiest thing would be do a note/lien at a good rate you both can agree upon and build a relationship from there.

This is easiest when you own both lands/properties where you’re planning on adjusting those lines (which I do).
