What a drastic change when I came to Florida.

Where these numbers are found, there is a very high rate of rent actually being paid.We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare, Auto, and mortgage industry National footprints.

You can find flat rate listing agents as well for probably $1000 offer buyers agent $2K so they will take the time to show it. 

Year over year we've seen impressive appreciation rates and often times investors are able to re-sell at a profit a year later with minimal to no work.

I decided to add to that change by leaving my career to focusing on Real Estate.

Maybe half upfront and reduce the rate of interest on the balance..

Owner-occupied commercial properties generally get better interest rates and terms when compared to pure investment properties. 

(This may have changed in subsequent funds, so check with PPR.) 

The ownership could be changed prior to structuring the parking arrangement, but last-minute changes without time to season the ownership change would significantly increase the risk the transaction could be disallowed as a step transaction under audit.

Look for discounted run down properties that need renovation and change the layout during the renovation.
