Some areas allow commercially zoned properties to share one large septic system (think sandmound or gravel type system) or would they require an individual on-lot septic? 

We have no batteries.We sized the system to be zero cost annually.

This property was originally listed at $1.75M, but through market analysis and negotiation, we were able to secure it for $1.55M—a $200K reduction.

Chiefly Im looking at it from a tax benefit stand point, but also want to make sure the principal investment is secure as possible.

While my background is primarily in the automotive industry—managing operations, logistics, and problem-solving— I own a business here in Anchorage that is working on securing an 18,000 sq. ft. warehouse in order to provide Commissary Supply services to the Department of Corrections.

Did your borrowers mention securing your investment with a recorded mortgage or deed of trust, personal guarantees, lender’s title insurance, or anything else?

However, I’m wondering if anyone here has had success investing OOS in locations hundreds or even thousands of miles away and still managed to maintain solid cash flow.Have you been able to overcome the challenges of investing in a distant market, and what strategies or systems have worked for you?

The next step is learning how to analyze deals, secure financing, and develop a solid investing strategy.
