I do have a good radar for judging people I worked as a nurse in Prisons including working  Additionally, I self manage a property in Arizona out of state.I do realize I need to build my team for out-of-state investing but I am not at that point yet first I need to start analyzing the area.Thank you!!!

I had wrapped my head around residential not around commercial, But to me the deal seems amazing - you guys tell me 8000 sq. ft building7 storefronts on an active downtown street (all rented and currently have tenants)34 unit mini storage in back lot (29 units rented - the rest of the unrented are being used by the current owner)Asking price is $798,000 and owner is ok with seller financingAfter sitting with them today the owner who is 83 said he is ok seller financing and verbally agreed to $715,000 and a 4% interest rate, 30 year note, $100,000 down payment, no early payoff penalty - my lender and real estate agent both came back valuing the property as it sits at $840,000Income = Rentals ($5075) Storage Units ($1935) = $7010speaking with the owner he hasn't raised the rent on either the storefronts or mini storages for almost 10 years - looking at comparables in the area we believe we can raise the rent and storage units easily to push the income up to $10,000 a month 4 of the 7 Tenants have been there 5 years plusCost = Including estimated payment, taxes, insurance ect. would come to a monthly of = $4450that would cashflow $2560 a month at its current with the potential after purchase and rent adjustments cashflow $5460 a monthPending an inspection the property looks in good shape with little to none improvements needed at this timeA quick background I have had rentals before on the farm we own, three houses we rented out so I have some experience) My QuestionsIs this a good deal???

In all, we were able to do a cash-out refinance after 1 year and got our entire investment, including down payment, back into our personal accounts and we still have a cash flowing property.The beauty of smaller town and communities is that often big-time investors are not looking at them as closely and they can cash flow quite well, at the sacrifice of "natural" appreciation.

Even if you don't plan to sell, you'll always want to be analyzing all potential exit strategies (including selling). 

I recommend a community bank close to the property, to include credit unions. 

This includes 1 off-street parking spot - which is very desirable in South Beach) HOA is $802 and taxes (with no exemptions) are $3192.

I am writing my business plan and I am trying to figure out how I will include in the renovation costs from a percentage of the purchase price, This is if I even have to because of the business type?

I told them that I had already paid an extra 3% service fee, which they could deduct from the balance, but they claimed it was already included in the mortgage and could not be used for a refund.Now it seems they are fully scam.how can I do to get my money back, I have lost around $6062 USD for this case.Because it is criminal, can we report to police and get the money back? 

Also are utilities included?

@Wilson Lau does $400/sq ft includes everything - including foundation?
