Ultimately responsibly using leverage (both equity and debt), implementing systems and buying good assets with realizable equity  is how you scale while operating a sustainable real estate business.

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’ve recently come across a unique investment opportunity that I’m excited about and would love to hear your insights.

There are a couple of unique tax laws to real estate investors - 1031 exchange, bonus depreciation on certain improvements, Qualified Opportunity Zones, real estate professional status, etc.Make sure that the accountant you interview to understand the above concepts.best of luck!

We get just as frustrated because the system is a bit "broken":(I believe the team is in communication with you about your options - just be sure to also let us know your choice to secure the property to deter squatters as cost-effectively as possible.

Glad you are setting aside money, but if the HVAC is 20 years old, or the septic system has never been pumped, or the roof is 25 years old, etc; you will get hit with a cost before your build up enough set aside.How stable is the other tenant? 

There is a huge gain probably in a more efficient gas system then oil so they are already getting some cost savings. 

We manage 275 residential properties with the majority of those in Sherman/Denison so I feel uniquely qualified to chime in.Generally speaking, 3 to 4 bedrooms are the most popular and for a new build, they will lease anwhere between $1600 - $2200 depending on the area, size and amenities.

Putting in place policies and systems to handle that will be key otherwise you'll always be working or at least be on-call.  

I have found the best way to get attention is to go the press and be very loud about the lazy or indifferent system. 

Work with your attorney for what is needed to insure all subcontractors get paid by the General Contractor.Make sure the insurance covers Construction period and also materials.Talk with your Commerical insurance agent and they should address the above questions with you.If this is an older facility make sure your engineering firm has covered Fire Suppression systems and any Storm pond or drainage systems.
