If you are taking a space in a center with multiple vacancies, or even taking a space that has been sitting vacant for some time, I would imagine you have a strong hand in the negotiation.Curious: are you working with a broker that represents you or are you negotiating directly with the landlord/landlord rep?

Just sit and listen and take it all in. 

With houses sitting on the market longer, I am thinking of offering the house as a short term rental until it sells.

At least it sits on their credit report and prevents them from scamming another landlord or qualifying for a loan.

That said, modular obviously goes in a LOT faster, and you don't have issues with stuff getting wet, sitting out, etc.

Lots of deals "in the works" but nothing at the moment.Unless find a way to get more deals in front of me, two things will happen:* My money will sit idle while waiting for a deal, reducing my effective yield* I may have to settle for a lower return among my few choicesHow do I go about opening the deal flow floodgates?

Taking the emotions out of the working relationship -  that is, my 'sympathy'for  his dad being greedy and thus losing jobs left and right because his dad insists on masquerading as a contractor despite being just a handyman limited to CA CSLB statutes that strictly limit all handymen in the state from being compensated more than what's left of $500 after materials - I realize I have reiterated with son on several occasions that CSLB limits handymen to $500 per project as the maximum for both materials AND labor per project IS the basis for fairness.I realize being told that the above (current CSLB limits )isn't 'fair' is a huge slap n the face after having given formerly father, and now currently and ongoingly the son for the past 11 months and change, steady work.Perhaps it's a sign of the times where even handymen and jobbers would rather sit around making no money than taking what they feel is 'less' pay than they could be making 'if they were' a contractor?

So even if you take it out now as an owner occupant when it's easy to GET one, there's nothing at all stopping you from sitting on it and waiting for rates to go down before you actually USE it.

I don't recall the specific name of these facilities and cannot find the podcast.
