What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I’m a real estate agent based in South Carolina, where I specialize in off-market deals and work closely with investors.

The New York-based retailer, which also owns Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury, recently announced plans to close and sell 55 stores this fiscal year, up from an initial 50, due to strong deal momentum.

There are a couple of deals some folks might want to take advantage of - Black+Decker 12 cup coffee maker - $10 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C8B9V7HR/ref=sw_img_1We had this one in the lakehouse.

While PP is likely higher than the Midwest we’re seeing loads of consistent appreciation and you can still find deals that cash flow $250-$300/unit after all expenses figured in.

Again, I am trying to practice and run some numbers on potential investments and would like help since I am just starting to learn the games of real estate and underwriting deals.

The person who will lease the restaurant space would like for us to go in 50/50 on another opportunity once we figure out if the numbers will work on that deal.  

The only reason I will buy cash is to try to get a better deal, and then right after, I can refinance to take advantage of the interest rates.I am trying to figure out what makes more sense in Gastonia?

The second buyer will pay 150K cash after appraisal.I assuming number 2 is the better deal.
