Does that sound like a winning strategy to you?

That’s something I’m actively exploring—whether it’s through direct-to-seller marketing, networking with local wholesalers, or even tapping into connections through my brother-in-law, who works with builders and contractors in the area.I’m not expecting slam-dunk deals or easy wins, but the numbers on a few potential projects I’ve run so far seem to work under the assumption that I’ll leave some cash in the deals.

Even if it not in your lease you can still negotiate a win/win solution.

If you win, it's because they wanted you to win and they bid you up. yup I used to be one of those characters.. 

Win/Win....

Then came Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Those stores go with whoever wins the cheapest contract. 

It becomes a win-win.On my most recent tenant, I experimented with a built in rent increase.

I'm not saying this will never happen to me, but I'd probably be vastly more likely to win the lottery before that happened haha.I can attest to #8 as well.

I guess a flat seasonal fee like any insurance policy, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
