No strategy in the stock market gives you direct control, so trying to find a stock strategy to fit REI is probably an exercise in futility.  

Btw, since I'm inspired by you're ask, I'm going to call Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran to come out to the Summit and help us raise some money for Duc Son Orphanage, and see what they say :)Maybe I'll also go on a hike and get some exercise ;)

A very mutually beneficial exchange of time, exercise, and knowledge.p.s.

You can also attempt to locate and then tie up potential replacement properties through putting them under contract with an extended closing period or tie them up with a lease with an option to buy so that you have control over when to exercise the option and close on the purchase.

Or, a question I'm even more interested in: assuming you haven't yet done that exercise, and given you're all in on scale of rentals, how have you approached this to get enough confidence that it'll work out well for the portfolio you're building?

Do I need to quit exercising for a period of time?

I have done a lot self improvement seminars and exercises and one thing I do very well is set up my goals 1,3,5, and 10 years down the road.

So I had an instant positive cash flow.Next, the option price was for the mortgage balance at the time of purchase. 18 months later I exercised for 25% under market value.

I have seen deals where the purchase is contingent on the tenant (Walgreens in your case) exercising it's renewal option.

Every day I wake up between 4:30 and 5:30 and spend 10 minutes in guided meditation, 10 minutes reading and saying my personal affirmations, 10 minutes of visualizing the biggest things I want in life, 10 minutes of reading (plus and hour of audio books while I drive in), 10 minutes writing, 20 minutes exercising (most days anyway), and finally 15 minutes looking at my yearly goals and aligning my monthly goals to meet that, then aligning my weekly goals to achieve my monthlies, then setting the day's goals to achieve the weekly goals.i do this for 4 key areas: Spiritual - what am i doing to make myself a better person?
