If a bubble pops and a stock drops because of it then ask yourself "is there anything that has changed about the business to justify this price drop?'

I would suggest driving for dollars in the area as well as Popping into The Barn and asking the real estate developers who own that building and office on the lower level if they know of anything.

I am an investor and a broker so see both sides of it.Example:Someone wants to buy a small retail strip center with mom and pop tenants for 1,500,000.

I will keep enough cash reserves to cover my bills for that 6 month time line, and possibly work a few long hour outages if they pop up local.I do not want to get a mortgage on it.

Add a pop up vent behind the stove and hope tenants use it ( In my opinion not likely and pop ups are very expensive)3.

As I'm sure you're aware competition in the Bay Area is pretty steep competition but real opportunities do pop up from time to time.

My eyes nearly popped out of my head in excitement, however, not knowing much about the business I remained skeptical.

Hey @Mike Cumbie, looks like the reason is that i was posting from my phone, typing this from my computer and the link popped right up.

When I was studying the space I saw that prices of net lease product was often 3-4X the value of the mom and pop retail located right nearby. 

I've been investing for 9 or so years and I will always check with my realtor about every 6 months to see if any new lending has popped up that she's aware of.I know for a fact that a couple of investors in my area are now using my lender strictly based off referrals from a previous seller realtor that saw how I was closing my deal with their buyer.
