I have a strong network here and know the key players/stakeholders in the community and am trying to learn how I can get involved to make an impact to change the community and restore the existing (beautiful) infrastructure. 

people in the street are dying becuase their company make less profit too, most small business in america can only survive by continous debt cycle.

Ownership is different than who's in debt. 

What is your roof goes, a heating unit.... you're credit card debt could build up quick as a result of this putting yourself in a bad situation.

For illustration purposes if I were given the opportunity to finance my construction projects at 8O% LTC full recourse or 70% partial recourse I will select the higher levered recourse option because have confidence in my projects knowing the debt is sub 60% LTV and want the benefit of leverage.

While some leases say they will remove all evidence the sign was there and restore to original condition, I doubt that happens in bankruptcy for example. 

Just contact a collections agency and send them proof of the debt owed (could be the signed lease agreement or a judgement if you have one).

I used to think that the “big difference” , The “great divide” in investments was between equity and debt.  

Try to get a cashout refinance to see what the bank thinks it’s worth and how the business would perform with debt.
