Operators already have relationships with the brokers and are much more likely to see an off market or "pocket listing". 

Although I would like to try to do it myself, crafting effective operating agreements is outside my comfort zone.

I haven't invested with them, but I had him on my podcast a while ago and felt he was a very solid operator with no fluff and good experience.

In short there are many levers that go into a deal like this including but not limited to TIA, buildout, Operator risk, etc...would be more than happy to jump on a call and see if we can provide some insights for your purchase.In general we do not like to place urgent cares in med office spaces, although hospital systems are notorious for throwing an UC in empty or extra med office space they have.  

I know that many things in the real estate world are hard to predict and out of the operators control.

Pencils have been down and large investors have been focused on cutting costs, increasing renewal rates and improving operations.

Companies have considerable flexibility in choosing where to set up operations.

Also, it depends how good of a deal you get and how good an operator (or the one you work with) are.Assuming you buy the "right" property in the "right" place overseas, you'd typically have a higher unlevered ROI overseas because a) a like-kind property would be cheaper and b) the (high) season could be longer and therefore the revenue higher.The US used to have the advantage of the financing (availability + interest rate).

Simple enough.What makes it unique is that we have operated a profitable and successful business out of our home for nearly 4 years as a highly booked Hostel and event space + potential urban market farm.
