Fortunately, a substantial amount of equity has been built up in recent years, and a near-term maturity may serve as a catalyst for owners to take profits and recycle the capital into new venturesHere are several graphs illustrating the current national commercial industrial market in The United States of America:Full Commercial Industrial Market Report Here: https://d2saw6je89goi1.cloudfront.net/uploads/digital_asset/file/1189855/United_States-Industrial-Capital_National-2024-03-10_a.pdf

However, if I spend a lot of time and effort getting a property up and running and then, after a few months, the owner cancels, I'm probably taking the full 10%.

From: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p925#en_US_2022_publink1000...Qualifications.You qualified as a real estate professional for the year if you met both of the following requirements.More than half of the personal services you performed in all trades or businesses during the tax year were performed in real property trades or businesses in which you materially participated.You performed more than 750 hours of services during the tax year in real property trades or businesses in which you materially participated.Don’t count personal services you performed as an employee in real property trades or businesses unless you were a 5% owner of your employer.

They are solid and have been good to me as an out of state owner/investor.

This road has residential homes and vacant commercial properties on it now, and if i decide to move forward, i will be the only property owner taking on these costs.

I had wrapped my head around residential not around commercial, But to me the deal seems amazing - you guys tell me 8000 sq. ft building7 storefronts on an active downtown street (all rented and currently have tenants)34 unit mini storage in back lot (29 units rented - the rest of the unrented are being used by the current owner)Asking price is $798,000 and owner is ok with seller financingAfter sitting with them today the owner who is 83 said he is ok seller financing and verbally agreed to $715,000 and a 4% interest rate, 30 year note, $100,000 down payment, no early payoff penalty - my lender and real estate agent both came back valuing the property as it sits at $840,000Income = Rentals ($5075) Storage Units ($1935) = $7010speaking with the owner he hasn't raised the rent on either the storefronts or mini storages for almost 10 years - looking at comparables in the area we believe we can raise the rent and storage units easily to push the income up to $10,000 a month 4 of the 7 Tenants have been there 5 years plusCost = Including estimated payment, taxes, insurance ect. would come to a monthly of = $4450that would cashflow $2560 a month at its current with the potential after purchase and rent adjustments cashflow $5460 a monthPending an inspection the property looks in good shape with little to none improvements needed at this timeA quick background I have had rentals before on the farm we own, three houses we rented out so I have some experience) My QuestionsIs this a good deal???

Hello William, When it comes to flipping properties Hard money is the best option and maybe a 203k loan which is a rehab type loan but its owner occupied.

Pace never mentions that he has an army of Attonerys, has his own title company and had a person that was a title company owner that mentored him all these years most likely for free lol.
