There were a few kinks to work out in the offer. We made our offer based on what public record declared to be the square footage (just over 4k square feet) and the owner was basing his counters on the building being over 5k square feet. The number that actually matters, as we understand it, is what is on public record because that is the "legal" size of the building and determines how it is taxed. We feel bad for the miscommunication because it made it seem as though we were offering $5 less per square foot than he was wanting. Our counter is actually $3 more per square foot (at 4k square feet) than he was figuring at 5k square feet. Basically, what this means is that we are hopeful yet that he will accept our offer. Then again, we are not getting attached and are actually expecting him to reject the offer. (That way, if he accepts, it is a bonus for us and not a let-down.) We are already looking into a few other buildings in the downtown area, because, like we said, we are more attached a dream than a building.
Andy Stanley's book Next Generation Leader has been great for me as we are going through this process. I recommend it to anyone who ever finds themselves in a position of leadership or if you aspire to be in that position at some point in your life. My favorite part.... "Capital follows a vision, not the other way around."
Your prayer is appreciated,
