Happy to connect and work with anyone trying to expand their business.I am working on building an industrial portfolio of my own - consistently searching and analyzing deals.My main market is Southern California, but I am slowly expanding my lens across the US.Ronald Rhode and Chad Griffiths are the best content creators in the space hands down. 

I joined with the intent to surround myself with others in the field and build my confidence and understanding of the subject matter (:I live a disciplined lifestyle when managing my expenses and living below my means.

I would appreciate any advice on anything I may be missing with putting this together or should neogotiate before finanlizing.Negotiated so far:Property: 9 Unit - 7 Apartments + 2 Commercial Garages (4 unit apt building + 3 unit apt building w/ commercial garage attached + standalone commercial garage on same lot)Background/Why owner is selling: A seasoned builder of 50 years, the owner purchased the property in the 1970s for around $8,000.00, later developing three apartments and two commercial structures.

@Josh Young - Are there opportunities to buy new builds for investors?

HOWEVER, there are two completely separate apartment buildings on the lot. 

The only property manager I know there handles commercial buildings.

With regard to my parents, I want a good relationship with them so they can build my credit history.

I work with many out-of-state investors to help them build and diversify their portfolios.

Is the area around the building cleaned up?
