If money were no object, do you have a specific property (whether it's for sale or not) and address that would be an ideal first investment for you?

Your best bet is to read information from public blogs that approach both options objectively.

Maybe look for a different type of tenant that doesn't leave every year or sell the place if it isn't meeting your other investment objectives.2) As PM's we always seek prior authorization for expensive turns or capital projects, even though the estimates given to our owner-clients are often ball-park numbers.

My objective is to buy about an acre of land, that is already leveled, access is being done, and utilities are going to be 5 feet from the property; and then build 3-4 shell retail spots on my plot, owner occupy one of them with a business and lease out the others.I am meeting with a developer this weekend, but have some wrong numbers regarding the average cost of building a shell space. 

We help our clients do exactly that — evaluate properties objectively, stick to their buy box, and make sure every deal fits their long-term goals.If you'd like to see how we structure our analysis or want to review a few sample deals, we’re happy to share insights.

I even had one slick guru recently try to sell me on creating my own course if I joined his program for $10,000 and they’d walk me through the steps of creating it and help me market it on doing LTR, and BRRRR and when I objected and said I’ve only currently got 7 buildings now with 25 units and have sold 7 over the course of years I’ve been doing it he said we’d focus on the deals I’ve been doing where I’m getting ARVs of $200,000-400,000 and not my actual numbers of properties owned.

Any change in objective should be approved.

Based off the information you provided, it sounds like there's no issue from your end.In the future, you may want to include something in the lease agreement that outlines objects that may be stored on premise.

With the money they raised they bought too little real estate to achieve their investment objectives, have LENT millions to the training company, financed a couple homes (wonder who got those, I can't find where they ever disclosed - but it will come out).

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.
