A way around this is to write in the lease that the store must provide monthly sales figures.

So if you've had any captialized leasehold improvements (think store build out) you can potentially correct that to 15 year now- which would qualify for 100% bonus depreciation. 

Others still use the regular lock and deadbolt for all entrances. 

If we assume rent is deferred for 90 days due to current circumstances, that would mean regular monthly payments would be due after those 90 days as well as tenants needing to work with landlords to determine how the 3 deferred payments will be made over 12 months.Not in your market and just speculating based on your post.

It is imperative for the longevity and operation of the system that the air filter be regularly checked and replaced if necessary.

You could get a manila file folder and store the lease and application in it. 

Only one of my tenants regularly pays before the 1st.  

And there are more and more new 2-family homes being built all over the place.With price per square foot still hovering in the mid $200s and the commute to Downtown Manhattan an easy 30 minutes, Bayonne is attracting a lot of interest, and I think it's a great house-hacking opportunity, especially for those coming from much more expensive markets (most of NYC and northern suburbs).To your point, the larger-scale activity is east of 440 on the former Marine Terminal only because there is so much space there and room for big-box stores like Costco, Lidl, Lowe's, Walmart, etc. 

The banks can't forbear from what I understand unless there is a time out all the way up the chain, so that regulars can relieve the banks and funds from their obligations for capital requirements and investor distributions ( a regulatory stop on Mark to Market).

I am a regular attendee of Jon's Lowell event and it is a fun time every month.
