I'm looking at a 10k sf ground-up flex space spec development opportunity and got the lender terms back which are requiring the the loan term match the tenant lease period.

Compromise makes sense if both parties are at fault, but if you truly believe you are in the right, then your opening position should match it. 

Doing a preferred return and some split is common, sometimes with a match on the split. 

In addition despite all of the negatives that pushed me from the Bay, the weather and geography aren’t easily matched meaning there will always be demand.

It requires you to keep moving your money from one to the next as they perform, but I think you will find that they typically are underwritten fairly conservatively and also may end sooner than anticipated with higher returns than advertised.A fund, and in general, as investment size gets larger gets much harder to match large returns of a good project.

Yes, we just made some more updates which significantly sped up processing time and improved even more on our already excellent hit and match rates.

Get a business card that matches the physical address, etc.   

I told them the separate piece of paper seemed to have the right numbers , but I would verify if those numbers matched the final closing documents and I would be there on Monday the 12th at closing.

Sometimes, the contractor pricing may differ from the SOR/WWU and if that happens, then you and the consultant and the contractor will have to have a meeting to get everyone on the same page, because before your loan closes, all the numbers/pricing have to match up and be identical. 

We would eat the capital gains tax losses and fees from the sale, but we could hopefully match or beat the cash flow from CA property, diversify into several units, and have more room for appreciation.3.)
