.#27+++ Use commercial retail as an indicator of tenant class.Dollar stores have a specific business model to build in under-served communities.They typically pop up in neighborhoods that have lower median HHI and less access to typical grocery stores or retail stores like Walmarts and Targets.Having a dollar store or two around a property is perfectly normal but if you’re looking at an asset surrounded by dollar stores on all sides, make sure you’re matching your business plan with the tenant demographic.Are you planning to buy this asset and provide affordable, clean, modern housing for this tenant base?

They get equity, they're part of the new LLC (created specifically for that one property), they get quarterly member disbursements, tax benefits (which can be quite massive as we've started doing cost segregation studies right from the start - basically you get an accelerated depreciation schedule which offsets most if not all income the property throws off in the first few years), principal pay down on the bank loan and any appreciation (which on my deals I don't rely on market appreciation, I create it through forced appreciation - improvements, higher rents, lower costs etc). 

IF you buyer know what you're doing, most of the times, agent is not needed. 50% of what you need is massive detailed inspection report and 50% is appraisal.

Otherwise, they'll be no mentors and all the other agents will instead push you to work with retail buyers & sellers.

I find hot neighborhoods in my city by driving the streets and finding where all those massive driveway dumpsters are.

I assume you understand that you screwed up massively.

I'm sure others have this same issuejoining a mastermind group has been MASSIVE for me. being able to chat with, bounce ideas off of and act like a sponge and absorb everything people are saying has propelled me forward. 

Be straight that you have a massive portfolio deal under contract but need to find a buyer and don't have anyone.

Although now I see a few U tubers jumping on and predicting another massive devaluation event in the coming months.  

Any advice from the Boston area is massively appreciated, because I know this is an investment property, not a homeowner special.
