$ worth of product/equipment at the job.

When you have done one or two of these jobs, then you will know if you truly like real estate and will be better equipped to tackle larger jobs.  

I've had a very successful career renting and selling construction equipment and I'm looking to take my financial goals to the next level.

A summary of the contracts underway follows: Contract 1: Heavy Civil and Airfield Lighting: * 115 pieces of heavy equipment in operation at any one time with approximately 160 personnel on site

I have found, too, that if you are financially equipped and have a good enough deal to use a HML, you usually can do it just as well without the HML.

We used to own warehouses and after we sold the family business had big pieces of equipment we stored for others.

Especially with the Internet and equipped with my trusty BlackBerry (actually, T-mobile MDA now) I'm better connected than most landlords down the street.Most problems can be solved by phone, email, and UPS.In terms of the investing part, I plan a 1-2 week road trip periodically, to spend time in 2-3 cities, meet with the chamber of commerce, talk with local business people and everyone around town, and meet with one or two good realtors.

The personal property involved, room furniture, common area furniture and fixtures, kitchen/dinning area equipment, laundry facilities, pool and sauna......get the picture.....

Then it gets out that you were "stonewalling the fire marshal" and "arguing over safety equipment."

Get their insights about the market & let them know the property type you are looking to buy.Once you have done these things, you will be better equipped to identify a deal and potentially create deal flow from owners and brokers in the market.Best of luck!
