Why not look for an owner occupant directly rather than going through this person? 

If you do that for six months and never miss, you will find mentors, partners, and friends that will be harder to find as a new person in the forums here.

With over 20 years in the business and 3,500+ transactions under my belt, I'm always looking to connect with others in the industry.

I hear a lot about standard personal loans, mortgages, etc - but do banks or smaller players consider situations like the above?

I have mixed feelings about Youngstown and me personally I want to not buy there. 

A lead is a person that expressed explicit interest in acquiring your product or service.When a prospect fills in your form of their own accord, THAT is a lead.So before I answer, what do you call a "warm" lead?

But I'm so busy with my job that I have almost no time to focus on our real estate business (not to mention the constant stress and anxiety of delivering a number year after year).

I don't really want to mix business with my personal life.

These tenants are so big that obviously you aren't going to get a personal guarantee out of them, but they're also such a safe bet that it's not seen as a big deal.In the smaller range of 3-5 year leases and small businesses, you don't see a lot of NNN, and you see more personal guarantees for the first term of the lease.

And hope to see you out on the forums, and in person, soon...
