So our solution is to have him put 100% of the down payment down into the LLC. 50% would be his down payment and 50% would be a loan (no interest) for my down payment.

Its a tree in a forest.  

,Congrats on being persistent and finding a solution!  

This question has got me stumped and I can't find the answer in my textbook...A homeowner preparing his home for sale should do all of the following except:a) fix any broken fences and railingsb) replace worn carpetingc) prune trees and mow lawnsd) repaint interior walls in a bright primary colorMy group thinks it's D, but what do you professionals think? 

Thanks Max - yeah, that's actually what the plumber suggested too, and I might consider that as a short term solution, but to be honest, I wouldn't put up with that as a tenant for very long (snaking a clogged toilet is not a particularly pleasant task), so I do want a more "hands-off" solution in the loner term.

The red tape and hoops that you have to deal with can be a nightmare and cause months of delay before you even touch a tree much less break ground.Also I agree with Devon, some architects do not live in reality (as a building contractor I live with it all to much) so it is important that you have a product to produce that you can not only sell in your market, but you can tweak and add value engineering to as you learn to construct your product, this can be equated to time or material, and is in my opinion the number one reason you would consider recreating a building multiple times and only change the façade. 

After having a hart attack and losing my tree removal company, my equipment and my house I can say I've been lost and looking for a new career I can sink my teeth into.

I am highly motivated and rarely fail at anything, but when I do, I pick myself up, analyze the mistakes I've made, and provide an immediate and long term solution.

If any question remains open about a property before a contingency expiration date then that question needs to get answered, or if there is a problem a solution to the problem needs to be found before the contingency expires.
