The DD period is a set time, allowing it to continue one minute past is not helping your client and the buyer going back in is essentially continuing the DD.Just my thought, It could just be NY though, how is that handled in your 3 states @Russell Brazil Absolutely no access for buyers outside the times to be there that are negotiated in the contract. 

On the downside, with the HELOAN, I leverage only a small portion of that equity and, as I understand it, I would have to pay off the HELOAN before being able to access more (no plan to borrow more though as I don't want to over leverage).

We were looking at it more for the flexibility of looking at a lot of properties frequently, MLS access and being able to continuously put in offers without exhausting an agent who has other clients to focus on as well.  

As for RE brokers, you would probably want one that has experience in restaurant/landlord leasing to take over the space.

I have a real estate license and have access to the MLS but I don't see how I can contact this person.

For most of the folks on the forums, access to capital seems to be the biggest problem.

.- Landscaping, add nice garden up front, trim trees, remove overgrown vines from house siding- Remove old walkway and replace with new right angle walkway to driveway instead of street- Fix up front porch, new concrete probably- Repair any problem siding- Flooring has some unevenness, joists in crawl space/basement need to be added or adjusted.- Exterior paint, interior paint - HVAC and water heater appear new, roof appears new- Interior has some water stain marks, replace drywall patches- Replace kitchen with modern cabinets, granite, appliances- Oak floors downstairs hopefully can be refinished- Replace carpet upstairs with composite flooring or nice carpet - stairs are carpeted!

They have an option to upgrade to Teams and delegate credential access (free version is nice, paid version is amazing) What are yours?

Hello,We are looking to buy a retail space in Dallas area.

At first, it would be for smaller commercial properties, but if the relationship grows well and we make a good team, I'd love to scale up with them.Ideally it's a win-win for all:For the PM:They get a large chunk of equityThey get more business.They get access to my investors' capital for potentially future dealsIn a way, they eat what they killFor me:I look favorable to the lender with an experienced PM team as a partnerI'll get a deal under my beltI'll be able to get help with the downpayment, reducing the burden on my investors and myselfFor my investorsSure, they lose out on some equity, but they'll get a (slightly) higher return due to the lower monthly management feeThey'll sleep easy knowing that the PM has skin in the game and is experiencedTo be clear, I'm playing the long game, so I'm more than willing to do say, a 55/30/15 split with the PM/Investors/Myself and with a 3-5% monthly management fee.
