If that's what you're really after I would start with the basics of what kind of bank loans either residential or commercial are available to you - not saying this is the best option, but it's a good place to start.

figuring that if I track and work towards creating and "presenting" 250 specific deals to my clients.My Theory being: Tracking "deals presented" will pull forward the need to go search and find deals, and will also drive the deals closed and revenue numbers, so we shall see but logics out to me so I'm liking it so far.

I guess I learned about Key Check, I was not super impressed, but it worked for the basics - it did not deliver income info, which I usually want to see. 

Do you see Nike cold calling customers or driving for dollars?

Right now the only utility at the garage is power so basically I am starting with a frame and a roof. 

These squatters don’t deserve my sympathy at all—one non-paying tenant even drives a BMW SUV and has never paid a dime!

Some, like the last one we got in place, used a drive by estimate of value rather than a full interior appraisal.
