I could say a whole lot more but won't on a public forum.

If you could buy a four to say a six unit office building and then you are a tenant, imo that w/b better (makes better business sense-single unit investments make lousy commercial nvestments, low roi).  

For me, I wanted to publicly give glory to God for helping me through getting my first deal, say a big thanks for the inspiration I have received through the BP network, and share a little bit of encouragement to those wanting to get something going in REI.  

Just depends if you are happy with that kind of return on your money.Some would say as long as the mortgage is paid and cash is flowing it's a workable deal.Now if you add property management costs and there's some kind of major reno that is needed, that can kill your profits overnight which is common for those old lake worth duplexes.  

Would you say a 5 CAP is appropriate for the area?

.$527,000 on a 4 plex that yields $55,000 annual profit Or $80,000 on a 5 unit that yields $61,000 annual profit One is mine in Alaska and the other is elsewhere stateside.31 years in Alaska and 5 years now investing with 23 units total and roughly 2 properties a year closed regularly I can definitely say as a recently new investor 5 years ago and lifelong Alaskan that not only is it over inflated at minimum 40% what it should be, but that it's a bad investment state as are many others on the most expensive states list.

I think the most important thing is what is there risk tolerance, and expect ROI.Beware of what you say, as you don't want to be soliciting.

I would say a recommendation to not do something, if there is a 99.5% chance that thing will result in losing a lot of time, money and possibly being sued, is a good recommendation.With the address, there is a fair amount of online info that can be had with an address.

In my OP I've wrote "For a fee", let's say a percentage of house closing, maybe 3% or so.

These are all markets I would love to already be owning a property, but when buildings are trading for say a 5 cap its not a great cash flow property in my eyes.
