Sale-Leasebacks have inherent challenges because the tenant/seller is incentivized to market the property in such a way they get they price they want, but if the entity who signs the lease is weak and there's no personal guarantor, they could stop paying rent the day after you close leaving you high and dry with very little legal remedy.I don't know your market, but in my eyes, any 10% cap offering is either an extremely weak tenant OR a tenant that has very little term remaining with no plans to renew.If I were, you I would very seriously consider how much I like the real estate and what my odds would be of refilling the real estate with the same or better rent and/or a better credit tenant once this tenant goes belly up.

I understand the capital region, the Adirondack region, and Western New York (Rochester and Buffalo) have their strengths and weaknesses, but I'm going to focus on this central part of the state.Binghamton is my favorite investment market for a few reasons, but it's not for everyone.STRENGTHS-  low prices-  blue collar overall, meaning lots of resources for contractors-  growing university, consistently growing rents-  I expect to see an actual 10% cap rate here, higher if the property needs work-  compared to downstate, permitting, evictions, etc. are simple and quick-  no code compliance inspections required on existing multifamiliesWEAKNESSES-  no. natural. appreciation.

This is a rather weak argument at this point.

Although, as mentioned at the top, the pull chain switches are often a weak spot, however they are often easy to simply replace with an inexpensive, universal replacement switch from the hardware store.

@Sylvester Hardison, I am going to echo other's thoughts, but it also depends on what your current education level is and where you feel your weaknesses are.Within the multifamily space, for instance, there are a lot of groups out there.  

Would love to know their strengths and weaknesses.

You should learn your strengths and weakness then take advantage of the strengths.

The springs on the garage door where weak and the door would not open and close correctly, I just lived with it and fixed it.  

With no late fees- rent is always paid with in the 3-day grace period annual rent is $5400/yearWith chronically late payments a $450/month apartmen with a $45 late fee is $495  or $5940/year.

I cannot overstate the importance of finding a way to build a good rapport with your tenants as early on in the acquisition process as possible, as it will minimize or prevent countless headaches further down the road.When I took over my duplex with an inherited resident in one of the units, I had this conversation with the tenant prior to closing and found out that the toilet in their bathroom was clogging once or twice a week, and their shower head water pressure was super weak.
