After a few days back on the site and perhaps dozens of suggestions for improvement and complaints, we hear something positive about the site from you, John!

Everyone has heard that oil companies don’t want us to develop alternative sources of energy because of the astronomical amounts of revenue and profit that they stand to lose.

From an SEO standpoint an external blog does almost nothing other than potentially offer some back-links.So moving the blog to an external site might work well for people that do not have a website or do not need/want to improve their organic search rankings.But in my case that is a large portion of why I have a blog.

Yes, you can really improve the tenants you get by screening, but an acceptable tenant in a low-income, multi-family, government assisted rental can be quite different that an acceptable tenant for a nice SFH.

I have had much better luck and improvements since they actually started doing what they said they would do.

It seems like I get something in the mail every week that will improve my camping for another $40.

This would still require one to place the capital in service over a period of time though and gathering enough units to cash flow north of $1M would take a lot of effort.I agree with others that have stated this would be much easier to do with commercial product purchased selectively.A mix of flips and rentals would drastically improve the yield, but it would also increase the human capital contribution via your time.

Be straight forward and honest and let them know you are doing research on what to expect and ask their advice on pitfalls to avoid getting started.Any other time spent worrying about market share is wasted energy in my opinion.

They want it and would like to lease it for us for a 10-yr first option triple net.I have been negotiating with the owner and think we can get the building for $200k and would need to put another $200k into it for improvements to lease.I have not started hard negotiations with leasee (waiting until i get control of building, but will not close until executed lease is in hand) but have casual discussion of $9/sf.So we are looking at cap rates in high teens and a hefty cash flow with paying off the building in 10-yrs.

Do I need a real estate attorney to draw this up--we are all working quickly and efficiently together so I'd prefer to keep it simple, but don't want to overlook anything.
