In the multi unit buildings I put on lease "Each tenant shares responsibility for removing snow and salting on both walkways and sidewalk infront of property" and I have them initial before we execute lease.

Also find a good lender that is well versed in STR/MTR loans to make sure you qualify for financing (if you need it) and that they can execute the loan smoothly

I have another deal and worried I won’t be able to execute so perhaps I will do it with my other SDIRA custodian to be sure it will close in a timely manner.

Certainly nothing ground-breaking in terms of ideas here, however I'll be very hands on (and on site) during the process to make sure that every step of the way is executed to a high standard and very carefully.Once I've hopefully developed a successful track record and gained experience, my next goal would be to move on to commercial assets (think multi-family, industrial etc) so that I can leverage my existing investor network and real estate knowledge to raise 3rd party equity and take on bigger projects.

I want a specialist that's an expert, and not a jack of all trades and master of none.

Properties with low cap rates (5.3%) often trade because investors prioritize appreciation over immediate cash flow.

I went from Teaching to Coaching college basketball to executive recruiting  (headhunting). 

Hi Robert, your situation sounds exactly like another gentleman I am working with right now and helping with his 1031 strategy and execution.

Multi-story CBD office buildings in downtown urban areas are the product that is struggling.When you say temporary, infrequent use, are you speaking about leasing smaller Executive Offices or running a business similar to WeWork?

If you aren't going to be living in CR full time as you try to execute the deal I do not think it is physically possible for you to obtain a loan from Scotia Bank and not worth your time to try because the rates are so high.
