I made a deal with my buddy that everything gets ordered from him so I have only one supplier....except flooring.This made him happy and the discount was considerable because he can now unload inventory he can't sell.

Do you guys think this is the worst of it or will the number keep rising?

Payments to the owner include the master lease payment and incremental option consideration that extends the option period and applies towards the purchase price.Also get a title insurance policy with option endorsement to protect the right to exercise the option.Also, the sub-tenants do not have an option to buy, because the "master tenant" cannot offer an option contract without being an owner of record on the title.

Interesting....i wonder why no-one has raised AN obvious consideration...and that being "how do you hold title?"

Maintaning the separate books is where the challenge comes in.If a Series cannot be formed, the fees are going to be considerable.

Afterall, we put in a considerable amount of time and effort and money to build the portfolio (not a real example).Any other strategies out there?
