Currently, I am in the process of negotiating another commercial building and an additional industrial warehouse adjacent to my initial investment.Looking forward to connecting with like-minded individuals and exploring potential synergies.

 - initial cash flow has poor correlation with long term cash flow.  

Happy to connect when you need help sourcing off market Augusta GA deals.

The one caveat I have about that area is that it is starting to be classified as a declining market.

If our marketing ever comes to fruition, I will update my notes; however, as of now, ConnectLinx is not a valid replacement for Rentlinx. 

In regards to your markets you mentioned, TX is likely going to be a better market for appreciation than OH. 

Or dive into the other town and learn from scratch all over again on the rental market? 

This creates two loan payments ($100,000 of equity and $300,000 on the new mortgage).Key NumbersHome Equity Loan Interest Rate: 6%Mortgage Interest Rate: 7%Rental Income: $3,000 per monthExpenses (management, taxes, insurance, maintenance): $800 per monthIncome and ExpensesMonthly Rental Income: $3,000Monthly Expenses: $800Monthly Mortgage Payment: $2,000ExplanationThe investor earns $3,000 in rent each month.They pay $2,000 on the investment property mortgage and $800 on other expenses.This leaves $200 profit each month or $2,400 per year.However, you have to pay $6,000 interest on the equity borrowed.This leaves you with an annual loss of $3,600.This example shows that while the rental property generates positive monthly income, the interest cost of borrowing the initial $100,000 results in an overall annual loss.

Initially, the plan in our group, was to create full floor units as they become empty, which would increase the rents (though still RS).

Instead of thinking everyone is n00bs, think of everyone as a potential partnership or source of marketing so that you can help them with the things you are great at, renovation, etc and they can find you the deal that you keep trying to find.
