Of 1,500, When I realized we were going over estimate they kept saying we're almost done it's just a little bit more work and we'll have it rented that went on for several months.

I realize I've left out a lot from my post, but believe me, we've lost lots of sleep over the last several days about this matter. 

This is SUPER timely as I was analyzing a cheap sample property here in Atlanta last night (to get analysis reps in) and came to the same realization.

@Jeffery OlaruSure, my advice is that you speak with your financial advisor and tax professional.I assume you've calculated the ROI of the opportunity fund through the lifecycle of the investment and realize the risks that come with investing in these asset classes. 

I didn't realize he has written multiple.  

After running the numbers, we realized we would need to be asking about half of the listing price for it to be worth it.We know the strategy of “analyze 100, offer on 10, and buy 1” but we were just curious to hear what others had to say on how you would approach making such a lowball offer to a seller.

Drug stores and Walgreens in particular seemed very promising until I quickly realized that rent increases were often flat for decades. 

I've run into a mom & pop storage facility and they are retired in upper 70's (age) and willing to sell, realizing they won't be around forever. 

I've taken pride in going at it alone but I'm realizing in order to scale I need to do this - so thank you! 

The reality is, many small operators don't realize until they leave the closing table that they have suddenly created a tax problem for themselves.
