Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate law governs real property -- immovable property like land, buildings and fixtures -- that is operated for profit. Commercial real estate includes any income generating property such as offices, shopping malls, restaurants, industrial parks, retail stores, and factories. Commercial real estate transactions are regulated by both federal and state laws. Although commercial real estate investment can be very profitable, there is always an element of risk involved, such as non-payment of rent or depreciation of the value of the property.

Deficiency Judgment

I own a six unit apartment building. It was purchased through a land contract. The seller holds the mortgage. I missed August 08 payment. I was never late for over 4 years to this point. The seller threatened to have the tenants cars towed etc. if they don't pay rents to him, which they did. I have since paid all except $1500 to seller and have agreed to turn the building back to him in exchange for a release. He refuses and says he wants to sell the building and then settle. What if the sale price does not cover the note?
