So, essentially it's close to a wash if the projection pans out.

Leasing commercial space may not be essential.

The deal is about 90% occupied as we speak and essentially stays full.The deal is listed at the current appraised value but will obviously trade below this number.Asking price: $1,050,000Price Per Unit: $35,000Units: 30year built: 1962Total Rentable SF: 22,100Average Unit Size: 737Average rent/unit: 585Average Rent SF: 0.79Lot Size: 0.60 AcresIt is in Houston, Texas...

They're not cheap, but its a pretty essential reference if you're going to be doing rehabbing.Note also that many locations require a licensed General Contractor to pull permits for non-owner occupied properties.

So if you bid on the keyword "home buyers" and get a search terms report of "sell my house to home buyers" and "Jonny the home buyer" then you will want to make sure you block the competition keywords.So use the search terms to tailor what you want to show up for by blocking everything you don't want to show up for.That's essentially where most investors are failing.

I suspect the insurance company will not pay probably will call it a terrorist act or related to it.The landlord may be soon be the proud owner of essentially raw land with maybe some improvements and probably has a mortgage yet to finish paying and no cash flow.

I guess I thought they were essentially the same.

The scenario I would like to minimize would be that of someone coming in & essentially spamming the site.

Many brokers (and probably many states) would consider this a dual agency situation, where essentially one party is representing both sides of the transaction.In some states this is legal and in other illegal.Where I live, it's legal as long as all parties (buyer, seller and broker) agree in writing that they are willing to accept a dual agency relationship.So, short answer is that -- assuming it is even legal in your state -- it probably requires full disclosure in writing by all parties.

When options are exercised, the employee pay the taxes, and the company receives a tax benefit (essentially, the employees are paying the taxes in lieu of the company, but are doing so on essentially free gains, so they don't seem to mind).Microsoft used to make more money in tax rebates doing this than they made selling products, and which would essentially offset all of their taxable profit.
