Troy B. One Year Leases With Break Out Clause Wording?
10 May 2015 | 3 replies
If so, that should have been a red flag.If you're in an especially low-rent market (and it sounds like you are) and you're concerned a 12 month lease will make you less competitive, you might consider using an inexpensive loss-leader like a "free 40-inch TV" with a 12 month lease as an incentive to sign.Just remember the price of the TV when you need to go after the tenant for a broken lease.

Since this is being done within an LLC (as it should), and since there are different classes of membership interests (2 that I can ascertain), there are multiple factors to work out, some of which apply even when there's just one class of membership interest:How initial capital contributions, for each given class, are booked.How subsequent capital contributions, if any, for each given class, are booked.How member loans are booked.How each member's capital account will be handled pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and how reevaluation of said accounts will take place per Treasury Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), to conform with §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).How distributions will be allocated, including profits and losses, along with any resulting adjustment of percentage interests.How tax allocations will be handled - and if the book value of any company property is adjusted per Treasury Regulation §1.704-3, how that affects member allocations.I have not even covered every item that must be addressed (including voting rights, depreciation allocation, cash flow vs liquidation allocations (as in "when we sell a property - who gets how much of the appreciation, but what about the recapture, etc, etc.")).Insufficient information... and it's time to meet my wife for dinner.
