So far, it’s 100% positive.  

I really like the idea of leveraging local contacts for walkthroughs and feedback.

I would appreciate any comments or feedback on what to look for. 

In my home market of Florida, our insurance rates have made it much harder to have positive cash flow on a CRE deal.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

I want to be sure I’m structuring things in a way that protects my assets while allowing for growth and still keeping money partners protected.Any feedback would be awesome. 

It is alarming to witness someone in a prominent position within James' mentorship program engage in such unethical practices.

I'd like to be able to give a variety of options for the listeners along your recommendations and feedback on the options.

Thank you for the feedback.

Make sure your rent covers all expenses for positive cash flow.
