If the locations turned negative, Dollar General never exercised the option to extend, and if the location remained good, they built a larger store across the street.  

You’d need to file the Articles of Organization with the Colorado Secretary of State (the cost is around $50), get an EIN from the IRS (which is free and can be done online), and possibly draft an operating agreement, which isn’t required in Colorado but is still a good idea.

There is also a hotel/liquor store/restaurant for sale that I would like to buy.

Go for a local manager, not an online, discount company like Evolve or Vacasa.Try to interview several managers.

They are super helpful, provide so many forms online necessary for the start up.

It’s similar to the mortgage calculators you can see online but can add extra payments.

The most important thing to focus on is the location (one that will be booming with new stores, increased home values, etc. because this will do great for your property). 

We've strived to learn from other tech-enabled property managers and firms who have failed to scale effectively and implement those learnings in our scaling to now 180 cities across California and Washington state.For what it's worth:We have over 170 4-star or greater online reviews. 

For a commercial loan at 7% over 15 years, you can use an online loan calculator to estimate your monthly payments.

I would love to hear any recommendations of online resources and/or podcasts to understand the market better, as well as RE investing in general.
