The ironic thing is, when someone pays over appraisal price, the subject property becomes a new comp and literally creates a brand new value for itself and the other properties nearby. 

It could be possible that he is an honest guy and just using outdated marketing methods which is DAMAGING his brand and reputation. 

If the leak is due to the software I would switch to a bigger more national brand instead of some company that is smaller and has the ability to have cyber issues.

Hello I am just getting started in NNN investment, and mainly looking at national brand tenants in Quick Service Restaurants(QSR). 

We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!

Calvin Lee,You won't really find a 7 cap Dollar General in a strong suburban to urban core location unless limited years remaining on primary lease term and mostly cash deals or very small financing.The brand new Dollar Generals with upgraded construction all around in strong suburban to urban core areas tend to sell for 5.75 to 6.4 caps with new leases in place.The 7 cap new Dollar Generals tend to be in crap areas weak suburban to rural and cheap construction and many times on septic systems instead of county or city sewer.Every once in awhile in a strong location there might be a 7 cap with 10 years left on a high end Dollar General at 3 million in price or up.These have no rental increases in primary lease term so year over year your income dollar becomes worth less and less.

Brand new and looking to get started with small multi family rentals.

Multiple reasons why - high turnover, language barrier, individuals not representative of your brand, etc. 

BUT when you go in to fix something that you see they have a brand new PS5, or a new phone, or a nicer car than you do etc.

And that’s with issues and that pop up, however it’s brand new so probably won’t have too many items to fix in short term.Sounds like I should list it.
