Since they are 8 year tenants they are unlikely to rock the boat and make demands.

I just mention those as andidotal stories because I like to tell stories and I have been developing land since the late 70s and I have a lot of them.In CA it can take decades .I just did 7 lot split in North  Charleston SC and that was done in 120 days start to finish.. but it was on existing streets.... so just platting.I have a 23 lot project in Portland going right now... we will put the first stick in the ground 2 years from when I went into contract.. we started the underground in July and will pave next week.to be fair we have had a brutual winter .. and my excavator failed a Sewer pressure test and had to replace 300 ft of main line ( on his dime).. but with those two things we are 3 months longer than we like and with a 1.2 mil loan even at 6% its 20k in extra holding cost.When your doing development any dollars less than 100k are just small bills  LOL.

Most brokerages will require that you do pay yourself a commission, but most will give you a break on the split for your own properties. 

I don't know what the subsurface is in the Cincinnati area but when I lived in Midwestern Ohio it was a good 30-40 feet or more before you got to subsurface rock in many areas.

Sounds like you have a rock solid plan.

This comes up a lot and I think most of us are stuck between a rock and a hard place.Its really not fair that we are forced to take a service animal without any rules or guidelines and an insurance company can deny coverage.There should be something that a medical letter.

Nicholas Lohr I would first urge you to look at it from your future partner's point of view.Cash is king and if your partner is putting in the money, chances are they will want the deed in their or their entities name or in escrow but NOT in an entity they do not control.I am assuming this is a flip but if not there are other considerations.What equity split do you have in mind?
