I'm seeking advice & I am so in need of an mentor.

Greetings, I am seeking a cheap retail storefront in Memphis, TN.

You also have to worry about the tenants personal items being swiped, or, a tenant at least suspecting that a missing item was stolen by the handyman or plumber, even if it wasn't.It can be a real pain.

It is a pain but doable.

My wife is a local Realtor and seeks to specialize in foreign buyers, so if you need some local knowledge, please feel free to reach out to us.Regards,Gene

I am seeking advice on how to approach this situation.

I feel your pain !  

Instead of calculating what the costs are, I suggest you seek out a good broker who can teach and support you enough to make high earnings.

I'm telling you this because I'd like to see you have success on BP and that kind of condescension, particularly given that it's misguided, will turn off people whose advice you seek. 

I see Sebonic Financial listed quite a bit in ad screens for various real estate listing sites (Zillow, Trulia, etc.)  Has anyone had any experience with this company?
