[WSBARP] rent back agreement

[Britt, Christopher]

Craig:  I do not think you can skirt the landlord tenant protections.
However, in these situations in the past, I have withheld a portion of the
proceeds until such time as the seller moves out as a liquidated damage in
the case they become an issue.  It has proven to be an effective carrot.
