@Cristian Aviles-Morales I don't really like sharing the nitty gritty but here's some short answers1. tenants moving in earlier than they should have caused occupational permit issues. work permits I didn't know I needed were required. some ahole competitor who lost the deal to me I'm pretty sure knocked down some electrical wiring to one of the buildings and mysteriously the day after an "anonymous" caller reported it to the city. some guy harassing my contractors while they were working which I'm pretty sure was the same guy who vandalized my wires.2. my elevator pitch to short term investors. would you rather generate .01% in a checking account or invest with me and get an annualized 8% back on your money. you're basically making 800 times more.

You're building in a LOT of room for yourself, which is fine, but it's gives competitors a lot of room to outbid you. whether or not investors would be interested is something you have to ask investors in your area.

no, but i want to contact the corporate offices/brokers for the same companies that were in the spaces and gauge their interest. if not, then i'll go to their competitors in the same space.4) Is there the possibility of seller financing?

Very few investors today want to use cash reserve unless there is compelling reason to win over competitors. 

Something that I have used that has given me a competitive advantage in the markets that I buy in has been removing assignment clauses and guaranteeing that I was going to close on the property in order to win over a competitor.

If you are kind of in the middle, you might have to wait for the lower competitors to go first.

Take time and set them up; be sure they offer referrals and competitors openly. 

(Contact me on which way to go).Get SEO going (Contact me on a freeeeking amaaaaaazing guide on how to kick butt in seo and DESTROY your competitors while you are at it)While you do that, as it will take a bit of time do:DMM (Dead Men Moaning .. aka Zombies)PPC (Pelicans Peck Children... so sad :( )D4D (Dancing 4 Dollars as in poledancing... trust me that works great get out that floss underwear and flaunt those cheeks boi!))

Even the leads from my competitors Direct mail marketing, social media marketing, bandit signs and what have you?

A competitor is charging more money for his product than you are charging for your product.
