@Barrington Smith I'd be happy to walk through this deal in more detail via phone of webinar if it would be helpful, but at the surface I have the following thoughts:

- I'm unsure what T5-0 entails, I'm assuming its some kind of mixed use.  I'd do your due diligence to understand if there are parking or use restrictions here that might make backfilling the office space more difficult in the future.

- So I understand correctly that you will "cash flow" or profit $80K a year?  does this include all the expenses, capex, maint costs etc?  Seeing a rent roll, and T-12 or T-24 would be helpful to understand the true Profit of the building.

- Although there is no vacancy now, I'd want to see the leases they currently have, especially the commercial lease. Howe much term is left on it, do they have any renewal options? what do those look like? Is it a NNN lease? are you responsible for HVAC? those kinds of things.

- At the surface it sounds like a great opportunity, but I think there needs to be some more digging into the numbers to understand if its worth it at that price, and what the risk profile is.  

-You'd also want to understand what kind of capex issues you are inheriting....does the roof need done? HVAC issues? 

In short, if you can buy it right, its likely worth getting into and could be very powerful.  But owning managing and leasing commercial space should not be taken lightly and you should get as big a picture as you can.  as I said happy to discuss in more detail off line if that would be helpful.

Hi @Barrington Smith. I know this post is a few months old, but did you go through with the purchase? I'd love to know. On the surface this looks like a good deal. Btw...I'm here in Miami if you ever need someone to help you look at your deals. I don't mind.
