(I’d have to go find a building since I live in Florida and there isn’t much here taller than the WalMart store!)

But there are lots of examples of things like dark Walmarts, where Walmart closes a store (maybe because they opened a superstore nearby) but keeps paying on the original lease until it expires, sometimes years later.

Wal Mart color place

We will be advertising the homes on the base as well as in the local papers of the closing bases to receive pre-approvals for rentals or buyers.BTW, Walmart has built two new supercenters and renovated one Walmart into a supercenter that are all within 15 miles of eachother.

He focuses on what he calls Walmart neighborhoods.

I know other family members who work a regular JOB.Their mindset is put money in savings in case of a medical illness or rainy day fund.Take 1 or 2 trips a year with vacation and that's all they aspire to be.They look at me and what I do and think "I am lucky" or "I have it good" that I have my own business.They think I sit at home in my office all day and do nothing.They do not realize I am putting in way more hours than they could imagine.I am sacrificing now so that down the road as I get older (36 now) I can take it more easy.Meanwhile many of these (savers) will be working as a greeter at Wal-mart at age 70 and complaining about social security not being enough.I am not going to be one of those statistics.A family member that is 68 has their house paid off,car paid off,and with social security still lives hand to mouth.I try to explain they need to grow that money to stay solvent but FEAR is what grips them from making a move.Whatever everyone believes we know we are born and in a certain amount of time we die.Where we go after that is up to each person to decide.So you do not have time to let FEAR keep you from making rational decisions and not living life.There is risk in everything.Successful people taker calculated risks and on average win more times than they lose.I guess I would be 4 and 5 since I have my own money but also buy property using owner financed deals.

We buy satin nickel curtain rods at Walmart for the main floor and master bedroom windows.

For self managed property, our tenants can pay at WalMart for $0.88, and we'll pick up the $0.88 fee.

The money is made on volume of buying and selling, like a Wal-mart for little houses, not on holding them.I'd recommend putting your plan on paper and working the numbers see if it makes sense.

I'm not going to buy Walmart or Microsoft at the start up stage as a speculator because I saw huge appreciation potential before anyone else... but I'll sift through the solid performers and try to find the corner cases that are neglected and get predictable and above market returns.
