@Justin Howe   well its a belly to belly business when your trying to enforce our will on others and force equity..

Just thinking outside  of the box and getting my creative real estate juices going.Is there opportunities with nicer houses I.e.

Wanted to get the creative juices flowing with the following thought experiment: You have a cell phone. computer with internet access, and $100 in your pocket.

They are a pain in the *** - no doubt - but for me the juice is worth the squeeze.

Standing water and belly's in the line can also be an issue. 

I’ve seen big name banks go belly up, so I want to mitigate this from happening as best as possible.

If you miss the cycle then could be holding and finishing out another 5 to 10 years longer than you thought to get the value out of it.I can agree with Ash that if buying smaller strip centers with limited upside to gross up the value 20% and make 200k the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

While it is going to need a full cosmetic overhaul, the juice is well worth the squeeze as Manayunk is a rapidly appreciating area and will be worth a vast amount in the future.

That way you can juice up the current CF.

If the tenant goes belly-up or also "can't sell the business", you don't want to be saddled with the cost of getting them out of there.
