Bill Cook is teaching a pure options course this month in Tampa. https://billandkimcook.com/the...

I am not advocating no zoning; for instance, we would not want a battery factory or porn shop next to a preschool, but we are far over regulated when it comes to land use.

If he didn't buy them upfront, install privately and maintain his own batteries, he owns nothing.

I decided to:a) make it unusable as an actual fireplace (it can't burn anything) b) keep it looking like a fireplace with an electric insert that puts out heat and 'realistic looking' flames.c) make the hearth/mantel really nice and put battery candles (Costco) all around.It looks nice, and still provides a central focus for people to gather around.Is it as nice as a 'real' fireplace?

Relying on tenants to let you know isn't a reliable system.Self storage is a business, not pure real estate.

They averaged $2300/month in pure cash flow after all expenses for a COC return of ~35%.As I was keeping an eye on the market over the past year, I noticed a ton of strong comps selling for about 50% more than we paid.

But they are by far the exception, and their value is purely based on Brandon trademark, not any competitive advantage or intellectual property related to operations.So, if you want to build a business that can eventually be franchised or sold, that's going to be the key...

However in my area, pure cash flow projections per unit are below what other people on this forum and Brandon Turner in Multifamily Millionaire Vol1 (great book btw) are saying.

Pure cash flow is $328 monthly which equals 21% return on money.

We are hoping that each Brrr will be double in size, so our next one would be duplex or more, then 4 units or more & so on with a goal of eventually getting to a few small commercial properties & ultimately reaching 10k per month in pure cash flow.
