Good luck out there.Actually, I was seeking a list of strategies and their variations that will allow me to do deals via the 2 components of the HML funding deals at 65% an any sellers that I come across that are willing to wheel & deal w/a 35% carryback for what I for see as "lump sum now - cash over time - and a lump sum later."

If you want to be more hands on, go the JV route and make sure that the learning/education component is part of the deal.

PLUS you will be rewarding the Tenant's loyalty by giving them a discount on their rent.When figuring options like yours, you have to balance all of the components. 

I would say no matter where you go, I personally would concentrate on cash flow as much as possible and/or properties that have a forced appreciation component. 

Reading about these important professional components of a deal, I can see where they are all necessary.

I love and will forever value the lessons I have learnt by not having the successes hoped for in this program- I have come to the understanding that anyone that has the secret formula for wealth creation with “none of your own money” (which is not true because everyone who has ever made a deal using his system has had to fork out $100’s-$1000’s extra for the unknowns, but his psychological stab at you is that “it’s minimal compared to what the deal is worth” and can make you feel ungrateful...lol), wouldn’t reveal it without a significant return on the education component of that process which in reality has a success rate (the number of students who get deals) I believe is minimal.

There are other factors that I would consider:size of buildinglength of leases, how long till expirationis seller also the tenanthow long as current owner owned propertywho pays utilitiesis there adequate off street parkingis the current use conforming to zoningany code/zoning issuesage of buildingcondition of buildingrecent improvementsage of key components, roof, heating, plumbing electrical servicewho pays utilitieshow successful is the business tenant's business, are they strugglingif commercial goes dark, how difficult to replaceDavid Krulac

I literally had one inspector just walk around the property and name property components...

If your subject property does not have a fireplace and comp one does, the value of the fireplace, style, quality of materials, workmanship and functionality is then assessed as can be proven in the market (people willing to pay 5K more for a fireplace like that one) and that amount is then deducted from the comp sale price to bring it in line with an estimated value for the sunbject.

You’re most familiar with it and know areas and values is arguably the most important component to all of this.Good luck!
