But nothing really to hang my hat on at this stage.

I would not want a business owner renting from me also having an endless cost hanging over their business that brought no future value.You might want to limit your expense to initial primary lease term and not the options paying the leasing broker.

Hi All,It's been a few months since closing and I'm getting the hang of operating buildings on the south side.

I will probably PM the first few in order to get a hang of what goes on in the realm.

Read some books, hang out here, and join a LL group for networking.

Just got my salesperson license… what questions should I ask the brokerages I’m considering working with to help evaluate which is the best fit?

No need to hire a lawyer to read a paragraph or hire a GC to hang a ceiling fan.  

Barring something insane like the Russian mob having a war in your neighborhood I would definitely do the rehab, get better renters, and hang on.  

But as Lenin said, “Capitalists will bid on the rope we use to hang them.”  

@Zachary McDonough print @Bruce Lynn post and hang it everywhere-by the bathroom sink, next to the microwave, next to the TV…read it a handful of times every day, and action every item he mentioned.
