If you currently rent for $2,500 and take the $1,750; you have additional positive cash flow of $750 for your rent situation.Have you thoroughly looked over the capex potential issues? 

– Considering Class A properties with established tenants• Less focus on appreciation – Prioritizing income stability over potential future gains Current Opportunity: I’m evaluating a retail property in downtown Portland with:• >80% occupancy, most tenants in place for 10+ years• Decent cap rate (6-7%), NNN lease• Well-maintained, high-quality building, with existing HOA which will take care of maintenance. 

Potential income 600k-800k.3.

It also offers a chance to shift into something more passive, reducing the hands-on management that seems to be more of a hassle now that you’ve moved.That said, the rental income potential from your properties is worth noting, but there’s a limit to how much you can boost your cash flow, especially after already making significant upgrades.

A young investor with just 1-2 properties, 3 years into their journey could potentially be a great partner for friends and family.

@Joseph Leibovitch  What are you looking to do with the potential funds? 

Communicating timelines and expectations upfront can help prevent losing good prospects to other properties.I'd say it's a potential red flag if they want to sign the lease without viewing it.

I want to be able to find potential markets/listings nationally based on the return. 

I’m hoping to learn more about the industry, its dynamics, and explore potential opportunities for collaboration and growth.Totally understand that nothing in this field comes for free, and I’m more than willing to share my expertise (tech related) and provide support wherever our skills and goals align.Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully connecting soon!

That said, weigh the cost of renovations against the potential increase in appraisal.
