Go work in sales,No matter what industry you are in, if your a business leader and cannot sell, you wont succeed.

So in my mind did  matter if you did not cash flow if you were downtown appreciation more than made up for the little bit of negative.

It was explained to me that most commercial real estate owners do something with it in the first 5-10 years so it doesn't matter.   

Luckily, we have a track record of success—it’s just a matter of finding the right people and getting in front of them.

I focus on the dirt, then the tenant, then the lease terms, and finally the going in cap rate.If I own bad dirt then the other 3 really do not matter much at all.

Which lead to an issue with the seller because they needed those funds for another matter.  

Took him years to get the approval because of opposition from a neighborhood association that a lot adjacent to a residential area will reduce property values.As others have mentioned, if it's just a matter of getting loans, I rather shop around for banks that would do it.

Hey John I am just new to wholesaling and I want to start wholesaling but every video I saw or book I read on wholesaling says to not mention to the seller we are wholesalers, but probably is better off for everyone to be honest about what I am trying to do with the property, no matter if I am looking to assign it, do a 1031 exchange, use it as a rental, etc.

You've trained these tenants that the lease doesn't matter.

It also probably just a matter of time before insurance companies require this, especially on rentals, even if the law doesn't.Personally, I say get ahead to the law on these and install them now.
