I have also seen a lot of negative posts on here lately about the real estate industry so just need some assurance this is still a good route to go.This is also one of the first properties I’ve toured so I don’t want to jump too soon but I also don’t want to miss out on a good deal.

Building is a lengthy process that requires coordinating multiple aspects, which can be time-consuming.On the other hand, buying an existing property is generally cheaper upfront and offers the advantage of immediate availability, so you can move in or rent out quickly.

The market absorbed -19,000 square feet in Q1, indicating slightly negative demand.

The house I bought was a special case and I went it expecting negative cash flow. 

@Namal Burman I like using RentRedi myself, but more for the organization and tracking aspects/features.

I tell them I will be negative cash flow at the current rent and tell them what market rent is.

Renters Warehouse FIRED ME as a Land Lord because the tenants wrote negative reviews about them and they didn't want the bad press.

Especially when factoring in commercial spaces.One aspect of the deal I'd consider, is whether you can individually parcel the commercial spaces and sell them to the businesses.

As far as the time and money aspect of it goes we’ve got it pretty dialed in on how long and just how much it will cost.

If Jesus came back and got into rentals NO, N-O-B-O-D-Y get's admin access into our system. 2) They want a standardized list for maintenance items so they know in advance what repairs would cost.Being a PMc I'd invite them to acquire any of the readily available construction estimating tools/software out there such as RSMeans, but would not take on such a task as building and maintaining such a database, honestly for any $, it's simply not what we do. 3) They want a copy of all invoices from contractors to us so they can verify we are not marking up more than promised.A-ok. 4) They want to be able to talk to our contractors before work is done (each time) so they can talk contractors down in price themselves.I'd be fine with this as long as they sign a waiver that they own any/all negative impacts that result from such including extended vacancy periods, vendor refusals of service necessitating there own self-search to secure amicable vendor etc etc.. 5) They mentioned that they pay around $300 for full paint in a 2-bedroom unit.... we do not have a contractor that will touch a full paint on a 2 bedroom for $300LMAO!
