I'm in the Goshen/Elkhart/Southbend region so if you have any potential leads, or are looking for any deals in this area please let me know!

It might make sense to split up properties into different geographic regions or communities, but I think you'll be shelling out a lot of money to maintain separate LLCs for each property and getting very little in return.

I do know a lot of people though including some politicians, urban/city planners, architects, commercial property developers and managers, etc, so they keep me somewhat knowledgeable of things happening around the region.

The city where building is located is considered one of the most depressed economically in the region.

I'm 35 and I have a fantastic very well paying job As a regional manager for a great company that it would be very difficult to leave, but leaving is my goal!

The local and even some regional banks want an owner with boots on the ground that is local to feel good about things.You can have a domestic llc, a local partner or sponsor etc. as possible work arounds.

Local, regional, national , and international private equity groups and REITS know about these deals mainly because there are only so many hotel deals over a certain dollar figure.

Local to regional banks are good starting points

Years ago, Landmark Bank, a regional bank had a 21 year veteran commercial loan officer and the bank was sold.

Maybe someone can explain to me how you're going to determine the differences in weather regions, wind variations, sun exposure and differences in materials used over a 30 year period and how that would be relevant to my roof on a building that's 5 years old, shaded most of the time, in a valley area that has little exposure to higher winds. ???
