While location plays a huge role in determining if numbers work out for any deal, I like to keep an open mind.

Since it'll be a brand new system, I'm really not sure if it'll be $50, $100 or $200.

i.e. cafe, lounge area, art gallery space, co-working creative space.I would first like to:1) Build up a larger client base for my brand online and see the the need for a brick and mortar location2) Evaluate the trend of brick and mortar retail / coworking space going forward3) Store up enough cash reserve to accommodate the increase operating expense tied with a commercial retail lease4) Gain commercial residential experience which in my opinion has less risk of vacancy. 

I’ve been interested in RE investing for several years, as I’ve found that I’m good at digging up opportunities and closing, and I enjoy crunching numbers and analyzing problems.I’m interested in meeting people who have set up private money / private equity deals in the past, especially if it involved single-family residential buy-and-hold strategy.I’m also looking at pulling the trigger on the local Lifestyles Unlimited seminar, because I have a lot to learn, and also because I want access to what Lifestyles considers “best practices” in what will be my market.I’m happy to hear all sides of any idea and my hobbies include playing devil’s advocate and drumming at my local church.

@Mindy Jensen I'm not seeing this episode listed in Google play.

Hopefully the seller wants to play ball because I offered $23k below list. 

@Jay Hinrichs So what happens on all of these syndicated deals in which the interest rates are accelerated 12 months into a 24 month rehab/re-positioning play? 

@David Simon I haven't tried using those sites for comps but I use Zillow and put "Recently sold" then play with the filters to get something close to the house I'm looking for.

If I can play that game online, I'm all for it!

I’ve been tip towing and playing cautiously for far too long.
