Can you help me? I am due a percentage of rent receipts, payable February 1, every five years. A payment of 237K is due 2/1/08. Using 2.5% rent increases per year (below average the past 20 years); the payment schedule looks like this: 2013 = 360k; 2018=512k, 2023=634k, 2028=750k, 2033=884k, 2038=1,039k, 2043=1,204k, 2048=1,396k. What is the present value? Is this kind of income stream something I could use to pay for a house? How to best structure a deal that is fair to both sides? Thank you for your kind assistance.
