so to play devils advocate Pratik  if the property will sell for 200k and you negotiated 150k  and in Sac you could list it on MLS for 200k an sell it in a matter of hours for all cash.. what value do you bring to this deal for the seller.. they would net closer to 185k than 150k I see this all the time that wholesaler bring value in some markets I get that especially low value super rough areas that are underserved by the RE community but I fail to see the value proposition you bring when you make these kinds of margins.. how do  you explain this to the seller that their home which you KNOW is going to sell for 200k is only worth 150k because you want a big pay day.. how is that bringing value.. ( just playing devils advocate this morning and curious of your response or rationalizing this )

If you want to continue with that partner, you can set up an LLC or limited partnership.  

When I am not learning new skills, learning about Real Estate and designing new builds or renos, I am biking or running in my coastal town; I enjoy kayaking, hiking, painting and playing guitar.If any of you know anyone who could use somebody like me in the Boston area, please don't hesitate to message me.

I realize every lease is different and factors with regard to the location, traffic count etc all play a roll but I was really trying to hear about what sort of protections to the property owner was realistic to get from the billboard company.

She may be testing you and If you give into her now she will continue to walk all over you throughout this tenancy.

While I'm interested in continuing to flip properties I am more interested in starting to get some rentals under my belt and really jump more head first into REI. 

@Ivan Dushchenko, that's a good thought, I'm up in MA so that'll come into play soon.
