How cool.Well, It's because I was seen as a player, a closer (meaning I close on deals I put under contract).I said, "I didn't know you owned a building" and to that he said "yes, it's the building with two - first floor retail spaces and 9 apartments on the corner".Dang, just what I love.

I offered a price based on repair costs and a sale price they could get if they fixed it up (retail). 

This reminds me of the discussion around pricing things at $x.99 instead of $x+1.00.EXAMPLE: $4.99 instead of $5.00Everyone "knows" that the price in the example is basically $5.So, why do billion dollar companies, spending more on marketing departments than everyone's combined income on this thread, STILL use the $x.99 pricing format?

Have the water department come out and they will check from the street to the house from leaks.  

It's an endless game.Recently, one of the tenants being evicted reported a broken heater to code enforcement and the Department of Children and Families (DCF).

I have been thinking small office or retail (which I have experience in); larger multi family (10-20 unit), RV Storage, and have even thought about beach front hotel, or at least ocean view hotel.

Retail, office, industrial?

Success:  Signing a deal with First WatchFailure: Bought a retail condo, not realizing the low ceilings were such a deal breaker for a lot of tenants.Pain: A lot of turnover this year, especially in light industrialAha moment:  Mortgage note investing needs to be a larger part of my portfolio2025 Goals: Less Investing and more pickleball!

I have a couple of agents that I sponsor that does land deals for retail development.
