I started crunching some numbers.I decided to do some research – I spoke to property managers and real estate agents in the area.

We have been reading online and trying to educate ourselves but feel like if we could just find an "owner" of this type of  investment, we could get information that would help us decide how to approach NNN.Background: my family has owned and operated a small motel on the oregon coast since 1984.

When they demoed it for me it looked so easy to use and understand, the software was the main reason I decided to take the leap. 

You always want the best numbers to be the last deciding factor not the first.

And then the tenants pay the more variable amounts so it takes me out of the equation if they decide to use more energy during certain times.

I also actively invest in real estate myself, and I talk with investors regularly about how they evaluate deals.Out of curiosity, what key metrics do you use to decide whether a deal is worth pursuing?

Out of state investor, first time in Oklahoma, can't decide between the two.

Quote from @Dan Zambrano: Hey all,After thinking it over I decided to create a new thread.I am a small time passive real estate investor who has ambitions to expand greatly, first to $20M and perhaps maybe more. i guess I will give a little bit of background on my journey up to now.I am 38 y/o, Electrical Engineer by day, Architectural enthusiast by night.

Theoretically, I should be able to collect the funds from the deal, should my family member decide to go through with the deal.

If you are a person who has a full time job, or runs other companies, it is my professional opinion that you will be better served having the GC handle everything and report to you on your schedule.Once you decided to run the operation yourself, you are now employed by the development.
