I've been part of a mentorship group for the whole time, I built a deal team and I've been looking at purchasing a cash-flowing business utilizing SBA financing.

If you are coming in with 235k, you probably would not need much more, if any, to make the purchase.

It allows you, the wholesaler, to transfer your rights to purchase the property to an investor.

My goal is to purchase 15 units in the next 5 years, and produce a cash flow of $20k per month within the next 10 years.  

You can increase returns with leverage (that is a mortgage) or with value add (renovations, additions etc).I think cap rates (rents minus expenses divided by purchase price) on commercial and industrial is higher with less work involved, but its more expensive than I can afford--so I know next to nothing about that land.

What this leads to is higher purchase prices but also higher rents in these areas. 

I found a few that I liked and Melissa was able to help me quickly identify which ones were best for me and proceed with the purchasing process.

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Hey Cameron, for experienced investors I can lend up to 100% of the purchase and rehab costs on 1-4 unit properties.

This, in turn, allows for higher rental rates or quicker sales, directly impacting the ROI.I could remember when an investor purchased an old, three-story commercial building at  a bustling downtown area.
