As a landlord: If the income was sufficient to pay the rent, and all parties agreed to this and signed a contract, and then payments fell behind only because they were forgotten and for no other reason, then the money to catch up on the rent should be there and used as such immediately.

The hardest part is finding that wealthy individual who is willing to loan you the capital for a portion of equity.

Especially one with expertise in contracts.Title attorneys only deal with resolving title issues and are neutral (i.e. can only do what all parties agree to).  

This has the potential to be a mess for all three parties.

Looking to educate myself and a neutral third party's opinion. 

I'm trying to keep this professional by using 3rd party maintenance but I do think this tenant is looking for problems and/or angling for me to discount rent.Any advice on how seasoned landlords would handle this tyoe of tenant?

We own 6 + acres in Tucker, Ga and are discussing a JV to help develop, We are open to creative deal structures that work for all parties, objectives can be altered and discussed- but we are unsure how these are typically structured if we own the land outright.

I can guarantee a few things:1) If you wire the money, he will either ask for more or you will never hear from him again.2) If you insist you will only wire to a neutral party such as title, escrow, or a closing attorney – whatever is customary in your area, and how all legitimate loans close – you will never hear from this individual again.3) No matter what you do, you will never receive a dime from this scammer.I know you have a lot of time invested here, Chris, and 100 emails, but you really have to get over it and be glad it didn’t cost you anything.

Submittals can be done by your engineer, the owner’s architect, the owner, or another third-party consultant.

The hardest part is choosing your market and obtaining finance.
