However it lacks major big box stores, fast food restaurants and boutique shops.

I see three forces complicating things for many buy-and-holders using the 1031 exchange: 1) COVID is causing many to diversify their holdings to mitigate potential losses.

He used to work at a hamburger joint during college and took the wrong orders home for food. 

The former owner would be both a tenant, who could be evicted for not paying rent, and a mortgage holder who receives payments from you and could foreclose if you don't make the payments.I probably wouldn't want to do a deal like that because it would be messy to evict them if necessary - I can only imagine trying to explain it to a judge without coming off like a sophisticated real estate investor taking advantage of a civilian.That's not to say it wouldn't work, it's just harder for me to wrap my head around.

After the training you can work and communicate directly with the fund manager by doing the following: a) Find a vacant single tenant commercial building with the specific criteria the Fund Manager has asked you to identify (there are 15 criteria such as heavy traffic, with a building that used to be occupied by a food operator, so all would be set up for another fast food business as they are essential businesses and it also important to have great national tenants nearby etc) b) your will know how to contact the listing broker and will use the script given to you by the Fund Manager c) you will make an offer to purchase the property and can even send a proof of fund given to you by the fund manager showing that capital is sitting cash in the fund’s bank account.

Mine were pretty cut and dry - all vacant, did searches on taxes, liens, assessments, title, deed holders, permits, sellers, etc.

Example, burger places are pretty much going to be fast food outlets unless you do a tear-down.
