If there is a legal dispute over when a business started, they will examine when the actual business activities commenced and not what your lawyer wrote as an intention.4.

Tenant stipulates, represents and warrants that Tenant has examined the Premises, and that they are at the time of this Lease in good order, repair, and in a safe, clean and tenantable condition.

So if you are planning to claim that, I would certainly create and document more that the minimum required hours..the more hours you spend the better it is in case an auditor throws out some of the hours in examination. 

I really wanted to tell him about my aspirations and goals but it was so nerve racking.

In any other market I think its unsustainable but then again, I haven't taken the time to examine their SEC 10k reports.

***************************************************************************************************************************Just a couple of side notes for future lurkers:Since I requested the examination, he said he was going to stick to the items I wanted adjusted.

After closer examination of the posted photos, I realized that there were 5 exterior doors, but the property was being marketed as 4 condominiums. 

It was nerve racking thinking  that when the seller saw my assignment fee they were going to walk.

It takes nerve to get the deal done!
