For me personally, I find a tremendous amount of value in going through programs that help me learn at a much faster rate then what I could on my own as well as help me mitigate risk/self doubt.

However, the operating agreement can provide a procedure for breaking a tie vote so the disagreement is not escalated.

Some were probably not worth it, and some have paid off tremendously.

Costs could easily escalate to $65/square foot or more depending on how fancy you go.I am also converting a large warehouse that will include some large RV and boat spots.

I negotiated it by putting in an escalation clause in my offer since there were 8 other offers for the property.

There are so many hidden and fully disclosed fees by the insurance companies that it is impossible to beat the following strategy that I ended up doing and will share with you below: 1) I put a single tenant commercial property under contract with a 45 day due diligence (to inspect the property with no obligation to purchase it) 2) I contacted national tenants (I follow a very specific system) and got one committed to lease the space for 10 years with a NNN lease (NNN means: Tenant pays the lease plus taxes, insurance and maintenance) and a corporate guarantee (lease is guaranteed for the duration and backed by their financing bank like Wells Fargo) and they asked me to spend some money to offset some of their TI (Tenant Improvement for the location) 3) I took the cash I was going to put in to buy in full a WL insurance and instead I just put it as a downpayment for a 20 year commercial loan at very low interest rate and I used some of the money left over to pay for the TI/rehab cost to improve the single tenant retail property as agreed with the national tenant. 4) After we signed the lease the property went up in value from $850k (when it was vacant under contract) to $1.5Mil (with the national tenant in it with the NNN 10 year lease with the corporate guarantee and escalations) 5) My cash on cash was very high and helped me afford double the life insurance coverage for a lower premium because I got instead a level term life insurance with guaranteed sane premium for 20 years) 6) Once the 20 years are over, the loan would be paid off, I would still have the building at even higher value and the rent would easily be at least double what it was when I started 7) I did this approximately 4 years ago and a few weeks ago I refinanced the property and cashed out all the money I had put in, plus some, and I compared my strategy to those whom I know that went for the WL insurance coverage and the financial difference is huge due to the insurance fees, the limitations on what can be borrowed and limitations on income etc etc You can do the same with other type of properties of course.

You are in tremendous hands!

Also some great markets in NC, and NC is growing tremendously. 

The only time I have been able to find below market deals on MLS was when the local real estate market had cratered and there was tremendous supply and little demand.  

One owner is looking to exit to middle to high sevens on yield on cost.Cap exits are high 5’s, low 6’s for some Class A product.Turnover cost projections should escalate: $500 first year, $850 second year, $1000 third year.Consolidation and density of BFR assets can be an issue for insurance companies.
