And, as pointed out, disability is insurance through the social security system, it's not a giveaway that politicians like to claim to fire up that workingman ethic pitting people against each other for political gains.If I owned an ice cream store I'd certainly sell to anyone having the money, same with RE, if they qualify, they get it. :)

I think a more ambitious strategy would be to "flood the zone with value" - specifically, pick a few listings in the geography you are interested in that are being mismanaged and propose your plan to that owner just as an ice breaker.

Brace yourselves for the icing on this already delectable investment cake.

Free standing single tenant buildings are the cream of the crop in my world.
