Build a website, learn SEO, hammer social media, and grow your own self-sustaining business.

I learned a lot from this post, by the way when you post something publicly it's not yours anymore stop being selfish we're all here learning otherwise we'll be out there with a hammer and a saw

#joel owensmy patient does multi-tenant retail buildings and shopping centers, as well as single tenant triple nets. the list on his company's site shows about 3-4x as many single tenant deals (office depot, 7-11s, petsmarts, auto parts, big 5 sporting goods) around the country, than multiple tenant. i'm just a little concerned that "if the only tool a man has is a hammer, soon everything starts to look like a nail" as abraham maslow famously said. i'm not sure what kind of professional is best suited to provide advice about this situation, tho'.

Sal, that sign sledge is awesome! 

Even though east coast hasn't been hammered since Andrew, I guess the recent west coast disaster has things way up for right now.  

Will you be grabbing a hammer and helping or just trying to figure materials and labor?  

Swinging a hammer is not going to get my where I want to go.

As another licensed contractor, I’d love to tell you how many messes I clean up in houses from fly by night hammer swingers.

Learning to use a hammer, drill, miter saw, and paintbrush is a better start. 

Pros: -Interest only payments for 15 years -Can pay down the principal if you wish on your own timeline in that 15 years, and leave it open for future use if you want if you want-Whatever available funds are available also function as a rainy day or emergency fund if you see a need (but will need to get paid back, obviously)Cons: -Most are variable rate and fluctuate with the whims of the Fed; standard seems to be around a point above prime (could be better and/or fixed if you shop around)-For future lending, they can hammer your DTI ratio because lenders could base your potential monthly payment on a worst case scenario high interest rate (I was told 10%).
