I have also talked to several people who have purchased from LL and used their installation services, they seemed satisfied with the results.

Definitely pull permits so that you can get a sign off from the city, which should go a long way in satisfying the requirements of any lenders in the future.

I'd - add - don't make final payment until you are 100% satisfied!

But, many of those who claim to be conservative are all for government intervention on this issue.They claim to be conservative, but they have very liberal attitudes towards some issues that are important to their religious leaders.This just leads me to believe that many people have no consistent political ideologies, they just have religious ideologies, and they are willing to sell out their political beliefs in a heartbeat if it means satisfying their religious doctrine.While there's nothing inherently wrong with that, I find it funny that many of them like to "bash" liberals, without realizing that they are just as liberal when it comes to some issues...in other words, it becomes bad when it creates hypocritical actions and words...

Other types of real estate-related experience will be considered, provided that it satisfies the intent of the law.

What rate of return are you satisfied with?

George,I would suggest taking the ethical dilemma out of it and agree to purchase at a nominal interest rate that satisfies the law, protects the seller from penalties and still gives you a great deal.I have negotiated several deals where I could get 0% interest, and actually did get 0% on one of my first deals.

The seller will probably want to work something out to satisfy you and complete the purchase.

Originally posted by Billy Rogers:I also don't see how they could have any way of knowing if the tenant is going to renew a year later.I think the point being made is not that the PM has a crystal ball, but that the PM may have little incentive to try and keep tenants satisfied and likely to want to stay, because they earn leasing revenue upon turnover.

Depends on your operating agreement.Anyone who's able to put half to three quarters of a million into a deal isn't going to be satisfied with single digit interest rates.This seems like a weak deal in the best of times.
