I have been self educating by listening to the BiggerPockets podcast, reading various books on Real Estate, and of course "Rich Dad Poor Dad".

Just food for thought.

I’ve noticed four fast food franchises that bought the land and building to open the store and immediately put the land and building for sale.  

Looks like your on the path towards keeping it but just wanted to offer some additional food for thought.

I run a professional fee-management company but this was on one of my own properties.The remaining tenant (casually revealed that they thought it was OK to steal from a "rich corporation") even though it was just my family they were stealing rent (occupying space) from. 

I think your being very closed minded thinking that they must be replaced (which I would not as other said, since they do not hold up well).I would see if you can find a carpenter or flooring guy that can give you a quote on sanding and oiling (using the proper food grade oil for butcher block countertops).  

The rich get richer.That's our government "protecting" the people.It's too bad everyone can't participate in investments ike this.

Listening to BiggerPockets and reading Rich Dad Poor Dad How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

As for those asking for Clayton (Morris) to chime in...he and his wife just had a new baby 3 days ago so they're probably a little preoccupied at the moment.So big thanks to ALL here on BP for being so helpful....us newbies have a lot to learn and we appreciate your patience.The good news is that while I'm over 50, I just read Rich Dad Poor Dad and gave it to my 20yr old son in college and he read the book in 2 days and the two of us are pumped to both getting started...luckily, he's young enough to have time to build up his investment experience with a lot of time....me..I'm running a sprint!
