You need to know not only what things are worth in good condition (ARV or Market Value) but what level of finishes the market expects to get those prices.

I’ve been trying to get a feel for the market and would love to know current inventory levels compared to this time last year and average days on market per property.

The access to the car wash, what type model it is, the traffic counts, how many other car washes in the area, sightlines to the property ( on a hill,down in a hole,level), any cross anchor larger feeder traffic to site, parcel size layout and shape, etc. all play a vital role in the long time success of the dirt value along with other demographic metrics of course.There are not newly minted national credit leases at 9 caps with retail.

The tenant pays you rent but leases are generally gross or modified gross.More medical growth now is really going into more small retail centers at the street level.

@Matt Lefebvre man oh man I am trying to be on your level of success!!!

You will find some level of commuting in Maine, however, the density around Portland generally allows for a shorter commute (20-30 minutes) because we don't deal with a ton of traffic like other areas.

I’ve determined that the way to success for me is to speak publicly every chance that I get, which has improved my comfort level with it dramatically, and to seize every opportunity to try something new.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a contractor who is good at rental/BRRRR level work?

Hello everyone,I analyze a property a day (sometimes two) and it has made all the difference in my comfortability level.

What jobs are available as an entry level?
