Value is generally tied to location,tenant type, rental increases, strength of guaranty, and length of primary lease term with no early termination rights.By the way it doesn't matter if the company has 1,000 locations.You could have parent corp. guarantee, subsidiary of say 100 locations, or they set up LLC for just that one location.

It's obviously  up to your father and his accountant to make the final call on the applicability but discounted rent aside, the occasional tenant gives strength to an argument of holding for appreciation. 

This is a simple repair and the correct cement is the vinyl concrete patcher which is high strength and fast setting. 

In my experience the strength of your Loan Office is much more important then the online ratings of the company.  

Everyone has their strengths and some will benefit from having a license.

I work with hundreds of real estate investors, each one unique in their strengths and weaknesses.

Most importantly, when you are creating a business plan you need to do some serious introspection and get to know what your weaknesses and strengths are, before you make any hardcore decisions.You have a great start, good luck in moving forward!

It’s your character, your values, your integrity and your strengths.

I agree with @Wayne Brooks - sellers want to see financial strength and that you are a serious buyer.

Let the dilettantes go their way looking for the easy, safe, problem-free bucks in real estate, as if there were such things.Build your team as you go, learn to trust their strengths and work around their weaknesses.I really like the idea of doing a videocall with your agent holding a camera (FaceTime) as you walk through a property.
