Looking for an agent who can regularly send me (and eventually show) great MLS and off market deals.

Communicate with your contractor often, do your research, visit the project regularly, and pay all your bills on time, and hopefully you'll build a strong partnership/relationship that you're both happy with at the end of the project.Good luck!

If it passes inspections make sure you have rodent control in place and clean your gutters & roof regularly, do annual tree trimming etc.

Heuristics are great for quickly weeding out terrible investments, but they should only be the first step when considering the merits of any individual property.Imagine 2 identical homes built at the same time across town from each other.  

I'm a design/build so my contract is different than just a regular gc.

@Dmitriy Fomichenko Thx Dmitriy - I've given those all a look and listen to the podcast regularly (as well as working from the first one, I'm on #45 and have been current since #170).  

(I'm about to go double check the lease, but wanted to put a feeler out there)Also, since I haven't done it before (in this special case or just in general): When screening a new commercial tenant, can all the same tenant screening services used for regular rentals (e.g. mysmartmove) be used, or does it have to be a special thing specifically for commercial property, even if the business that's applying doesn't have a history, and is a new business?

If you are wanting to add more properties, it probably makes sense to pay the regular payment and save additional cash for other opportunities.  

., It it too short notice for me to make it tomorrow night, but do these meetings happen regularly?

Regular exercise and training are necessary.
