Builder went belly up, foreclosures, HOA didn't have enough money coming in to keep things nice and it was downhill from there.

Dogs, cats, iguanas, pot belly pigs, it does not matter.

So after a meeting with a long time client of mine to finalize details on a project.We sat around just chewing the fat for a while and my friend had asked what I had been up to in my RE business, he had known I was in the game so to speak and I guess he was looking for a status report,So I began to explain what I had been doing and mentioned a few deals I was looking at.

Its a great strategy you just need to know your ARV when your done with the rehab so there is enough fat in the deal to pull your money out or at least only have a small portion in that you can recoup (ROI or CoC) in the first year. 

@George Jan  I have a few NNN properties, and each one is completely different depending on the tenant.For example, Taco Bell is one tenant, and when I contacted them last about their lease being up, they said there were only two options:1. they would move out, or2. they would sign a new 20 year lease and scrape the lot and build a new building.I asked them if I could put up the money for the new building, thinking I would like to increase my investment in the property and my monthly income.

That fat ugly girl sitting at the end of the bar starts looking pretty good, after you've had enough drinks.  

We have to be careful (and i’m guilty of this a lot) not to make a deal sound good in our heads by “trimming the fat” so to speak.

I'd hate to hear my belly grumbling.

My wife & I work very hard for our money and we don't want to loose a lot incase this all goes belly up.Some of the companies I've looked into are as follows:http://azinvestmentpropertyexperts.com/ https://www.realwealthnetwork.com/https://www.homeunion.com/https://www.roofstock.comhttps://www.howardhanna.com/https://areiusa.com/ https://www.maverickinvestorgroup.com/Any advice or there companies, or referrals on other companies would greatly be appreciated.Best and wish us luck, Kevin
