I will be in Castelo Branco in March, and I want to check out Covilhã while I am there.

@Heather R. yes, the lease was renewed for a second year, ending in March 2018.

You may get a draw against future commissions, but most brokers are one-man bands.

All these licensees need to serve under a broker for sometime before you march your path.

goal  = build portfolio = option Bgoal = 80% or better equity = option Aas you mentioned, the cash flow is higher, not lower, by choosing option B with the savings reinvestedoption A seems to trump option B (but I personally would do option B and maintain the proper reserves)

We'll probably sell the "A" and buy the "B" and "C" deals.

Both units are leased until March 31st, 2018.

I like to invest in B and above class areas.

Vacancy in those areas usually ranges from 4-8%, maybe higher depending on the time of year (now-March).

There's a narrow band in the middle with good rates that you typically see advertised, then a "high balance" range where they aren't so good, then a "jumbo" range where they get better again (sometimes we find ways to shove "high balance" loans into "jumbo" for that reason).
