I met with a lender and he said what I am looking for is a "dinosaur" rare and hard to find.

I am 100% pro for purchasing multi-unit properties, but you want to purchase the best deal so you are happy to be a property owner and you don't want to purchase a dinosaur you have to clothe and feed.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth I did a deal with 5 friends/partners on a commercial property, and within 3 months they had all bailed on me, I had to scramble to buy them out but It turned into a real good money deal.So I threw a party at a restaurant for my "friends" and on the wall was a poster of the check I got when I finally closed escrow.

Perhaps off point, but those pensions are rapidly going the way of the dinosaurs.

But to be frank, whole life is considered a dinosaur.

Will, I study your threads as you are well seasoned like a fine crouton;), after doing much due dilliegence, these self serves in the area I purchased in are dinosaurs as the discount tunnel washes have taken off and killed the self serve model unless your next to a highschool or something.

To be honest, I have no idea how you're going to do that, but I will not be taking people's word that they have closed one without actual physical proof.So . . .Here's the challenge:1 - If you feel like the Bulk forum needs to go the way of the political forum or dinosaurs, jump in and say so.

The question out there before you, is there any true hard money lenders out there for commercial real estate anymore? ( in Indiana )

I simply advertise my open house on craigslist and one or two other online sites (I don't waste time and money on newspaper classified ads anymore as nobody under 55 seems to read those dinosaur publications anyways), complete with photos, detailed description, the address, and date and time of the open house.

Next you're going to tell us the earth is only 5000 years old and that humans co-existed with dinosaurs?
