A retail center can have 100 things go wrong with it that affect cash flow versus single tenant you know because the lease says the investment grade credit tenant takes care of everything per the lease and can model out predictable returns over time and if you have additional upside that is icing on the cake but not a requirement of the investment to be considered successful.Most of my LP investors make medium 6 to 7 figures a year with job or business and have lots of cash and net worth.

The cash flow is just the icing on the cake these days if you get it.

@Wesley Sherow a very real concern that is not mentioned is the scope and eventual cost of the total rehab.One of the most challenging projects I ever did was a rehab that converted a 100-year old five story concert building on Seattle’s waterfront to a storage facility.It was built and served as an ice plant that produced blocks of ice that was loaded in ships holds to transport food stuff to other parts of the world.This project and any major rehab of an OLD building carries much greater risk than one designed from scratch.In essence, the entire building is a “hidden condition”, which gives the general and its subcontractors a very wide lane to discover and charge for many change orders to cover the surprises they find along the way.You would be wise to use higher estimates for known costs and add generous contingencies for the unknown ones you are apt to run into.

I had 10 RSVP but due to the ice, we were only 7 strong.

Think about snow and ice during winter, what will happen.

Use the remaining 10% to treat you (and your loved one) to whatever it can afford, a dinner, an ice cream, a coffee.

(an upgrade from the 3-tab shingles)  IF the slope is only 4/12 or 5/12, then yes use the 3-tab ones, as they will shed water off the roof on lower slopes than the dim sh's will.IF you are in a snow laden area, then you MUST include using ice/water barrier around the perimeter lines as well.

This is common especially in commercial building or in cities that have a lot of snow and melting going on.Its called ice dams and bucking water.Mold can be killed by alot of stuff.

No ice makers. 

It's like asking, "what is a good flavor of ice cream?"
