I've been investing there since 2019 and have an awesome team on the ground built out to do BRRRR's.

I have a team on the ground that handles the bulk over the work so I can do it all from the Seattle area.

Some contractors can remodel a kitchen and put in flooring/paint, and some can build ground up.

However, please note that this step must be supported by documents and legal grounds.

Outside of that my mind went to a ground lease option if you could find an end user looking for that kind of deal, or potentially a build to suit for a brewery/pub type location that has a "draw" to it and does not rely so much on being near an anchored center.  

This isn't just about keeping things organized; it's your safety net if things escalate legally.Legal Grounds Check: It's wise to touch base with a legal expert familiar with your local landlord-tenant laws.

They're definitely working right now, but wondering if it's something that we should stick our ground on.The plumber we had come out estimated 4.8k for the pipe changes and stated it should be redone within the next few years. 

I'd suggest working with an operator who is boots on the ground where they are selling the properties.

Actually, pretty well thought out in general and you have boots on the ground so those are very good things.

I work with a team on the ground that helps source deals, project manages rehab and provides property management.
