It is because they aren't worth a crap at being attorneys and practicing private law so they get on and stay on the govt cheese as long as they can.

It appears to be a challenging lot and my primary concern would be whether it is even a practical lot to build on. 

This is important, Agents are not qualified to make substantive judgments on areas beyond their practice. 

But, it seems to be industry practice in my area to not nail anybody down very much.

In practice "corporate lease" is more just a term that STR arbitragers use to pitch their idea to landlords to try and get an agreement to be able to sublet their place without using the term "airbnb" or "short term rental" in the sales pitch. 

Great post.I make it a practice to write off anyone who market themselves in photos with luxury cars, lol. 

I interpret this as meaning, in practice, that the state will not allow a tax deed to extinguish a bank mortgage.

My advice would be to find an exclusive buyers agent who practices commercial real estate, not residential.

The naturally thing that comes to mind is, how does this ROE calculation relate to ROI/IRR (both in practical and mathematical senses) and should one metric be considered more strongly over another in certain situations.

Not very long ago, you would be amazed just what was legal and normal conduct in society... just because the law says it is wrong on the books today and they took the signs down, doesn't mean the general spirit that inspired these totally ridiculous practices just died or disappeared.
