@Tim Windhorst sorry to hear you are in this situation, answers to your questions: - Yes, you should be concerned after all you may have an extremely high or higher that usually utility bill and water is not very kind to most kinds of construction if this is a leak.- We have dealt with high water bills previously as in 'sudden jumps' in water usage, but all of our experiences have been traced back to the Tenant either utilizing more water, weather related or a case in which a Tenant has allowed another occupant to occupy the premises.

My architect, a rotating series of contractors, and others involved in the project have been attempting to determine why our permits for this work have been continually denied, but it is extremely difficult to get answers.

The purchase price rolled into a business loan as it was extremely low cost and the repairs I paid cash.

.- Term length requested- Exit strategy from the loan: generally a sale of the subject property or refinancing of the debt Extremely helpful, thank you Mike.

I'm sure it'll rent extremely fast

Maybe hiring a GC complicates this but I would be extremely careful with parting with any money up front before work is done.

They even go to the extreme of saying even a telemarketer must have a license to cold call.My question to the forum is:If a licensed person has already established contact with a potential customer, then an assistant can make follow up calls to gather additional information from the prospects, as it is no longer a cold call.Thoughts???

It seemed like he was available when I needed him to be, and to this day he is extremely responsive at any time of the day. 

Have good forms/documents up front, good software, extremely good processes and procedures in place and like the others said a good team that you can quickly delegate to.

I believe there are situations where an owner should be giving their approval on the tenant selection process, but this should be limited to extreme situations like the one listed above, where a suitable candidate can't be found that matches the agreed upon screening criteria.
