Our team has just gotten our first commercial property under contract and our time will largely be spent in these areas in the immediate future.

Small residential properties seem like a headache for them now so I've been fortunate enough to take them over via things like land contracts and creative financing deals to get them out of those properties.

I believe many contract out to the same sales company to deliver there pitches. 

"My overall goal is to buy enough doors to supplement working full time so one day I can focus full-time on becoming an entrepreneur" It seems that his goal is to become a full time entrepreneur and that 150k sure could buy alot of gas and business cards.

Might have to look into this...I'm still over here getting a new card for the $200 off of $500 in the first 3 months and borrowing free money for a year lol I've always done cash-back and just make sure I use the card w/ the highest percentage for whatever I'm buying - I think Amazon is 6-7% back (depending how how fast you want it delivered), Wal-mart had a good one (5% back) there but I believe their partnership w/ CapitalOne just ended, Costco has a good one (4% back and I think 7% on gas). 

Get it under contract to close in 6-12 months when it is done.

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

This will help you in the long run, as you'll find your agent experience will be a blessing & a curse:- Blessing due to your understanding of MLS, searches & contracts.- Curse because MUST change your agent mindset.

A master lease to the organization structured with an annual escalation clause and a term limit - like up to 5 years - was a recommended way to get a contract. 

There are short sales in there everywhere, everything's for sale and anything under contract is usually $100k or more below what the seller paid for the property.
