Hi @Eduardo Arteaga and welcome into the light of BP!

And when he hooks up all the grow lights for his cash crop and the bill is $1500 a month , what are you gonna do ?

If you're working the Seattle market you'd better find the energy to keep up! 

Once I finish with the light renovation I will post before and after pics.  

This building AC Systems, Electrical, Lighting, Fire Spray for Vent Hood, etc. are all non or minimal working condition, and have been deteriorating since day one of lease.

I am SO not an expert on this thus take my  input lightly..

Personally, they've all washed into the background when I'm driving around but one creative sign did sign out because the presentation and message was simple and more professional than a sharpied sign crudely tacked up on a light pole.Let me know if they've work for you as a cost effective lead generation strategy.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to shed some light on the difference between the two?

Tell your story in the best light possible ( without lying ) and show that what your offering is way more than you could offer with all cash. 

The next step would be .. wholesaling (Direct mail marketing, get your contracts, get your assignment papers, and find an attorney).The next steps and the ones in between will come to light ONLY when you seriously attempt to complete these steps.
