 Hello John, 

The building has been currently leased for 10k a month since I bought it at the end of 2019, but I have had 2 of my own companies in the building so essentially paying myself rent. I no longer needed the space as I have sold the 2 companies. This was my first 1031 and it was very easy on my side our real estate agent helped with the whole process as he sold our old building and found us a new one and recommended the intermediary for the 1031, we did have to pay some capital gains taxes on the 55k cash I kept back from the 1031 for the building renovation. PMC = Property Management Company

The building is a 5,000 sqft office/warehouse. The lease is $2.50 per sqft security deposit is $25k there is no free anything. As for the NNN, the tenet pays everything, property tax, maintenance, repairs, trash, water, electricity, no TI, etc. The only expense I have as the building owner is the PMC company at 8% and let me explain why the PMC expenses are mine. With the commercial lease, I could have used a broker or my attorney to draft the lease and would have paid roughly a 3% fee of the lease value 750k my fee would have been around 22k. Instead, I used my PMC that charges me monthly 8% of collected rents in this case $1,000 per month. I plan on selling the building in less than 12 months so my total expected cost will be no more than 12k out of pocket, half the cost of using a broker or attorney. When I sell the building my PMC has the opportunity to continue with the building if the new buyer wants which is just a bonus for them and they know I'm just going to go buy more for them to manage anyways. The reality is there is not 1 single commercial office/warehouse for sale or lease where I am. So the property gets a premium. I have purchased one commercial lot and am closing on another one end of April to build some more commercial space. Please let me know if I covered it all and thank you for asking the questions.
P.S. the PMC company I use here is great so I'm happy to give them the business.

 Drew thank you so much for the detailed information. I will definitely read your series on screening property managers. I know for this step investing in Indiana finding a great PMC will be very important as I live in Arizona and this will be my first out of state investment. 

 Hello Kerry, thank you for the reply. I'm looking around Indianapolis mainly but am open to going farther away from the city for an apartment building if the numbers work. Finding a great property manager is my first step in this area. I learned the hard way with my office buildings in Arizona and went through a few property managers till I found the rockstar I have now. 

Hello all, my name is Jeff I am looking to start investing in some multifamily and small apartments (under 50 doors) in indiana. I want to talk with a few property managers in this area as I start building my team. I currently have commercial investment properties in Arizona and am ready to look at investing in multifamily housing. Thank you.
