There just isn't any "big money" investigating the returns for real estate investments in Pueblo that would push the returns down to the risk/return efficient frontier.  

I will start investigating starting an LLC, it will be in TX, I heard they are pretty business/landlord friendly.

Are you still investigating the building?

I would contact the officer in charge of the Narcotics Investigation for advice as well. 

A C-Store, a wharehouse/office, a strip center and an apartment building will all have some similarities but they just can't get you there to fully investigate the realm of commercial properties.There are lucky investors and property owners.I know an old guy who had an 8th grade education that did very well with commercial properties.

The last time I refinanced it, I qualified for a NOO loan which we should pay off in a decade or less.Our next investment property was also financed as a conventional NOO investment property (20% down, 6.625%, 30 year fixed, etc.).We are just a few days away from closing on another property that is a VA foreclosure (5% down, 4%, 30 year fixed, etc.).After this, I will take Bryan's advise and investigate the smaller regional banks in our area and see if they're any help to an investor.Looking forward to other replies.

Hey all, I have been lurking for the past 2 months on BP, the opportunities the current market present spurred me onto to some more in depth investigations regarding REI.My wife and I have an unencumbered SFR rented in Boston (a silver lining to a tragic event) at a cash on cash position of 3%, I envision many members having heart attacks!

If the audit leads to a different outcome, and your point is still arguable, appeal to an investigator or higher level auditor.

We'll investigate and I will hopefully have it resolved in the next day or so.Thanks for letting me know about the problem.

So, you'd have to investigate your rights in your specific state.A lease/option is weakest for the buyer.
