Liquidated damages need to accurately reflect the actual loss and not just be any number you come up with (IE: you can’t charge $2500/day they go over time).

Or, if you're not so concerned about having money immediately available and potentially missing out on a deal, perhaps you instead choose to invest in something a little less liquid but that might earn you a higher return.Assume either way that you can cover all your basic living expenses and that you have the necessary reserves saved up to cover the unexpected things life throws at you.  

My only concern is my lack of liquid savings, about $5K in all.

@Alex Rand - I dont have zero experience in commercial, only residential, so maybe you should not listen to me at all...That said, with the ever expanding to e-commerce, the traditional retail has been and will continue to shrink, meaning the demand for retail space has been reducing and will continue to reduce....I would not get too greedy here....
