These deals just popped up and I got em, now I got to figure out what to do with em.Alright, I think I gave the pertinent details without laying out too much of my private life.  

Less risk than back filling large new strip centers with mom and pop and national tenants.Instead build to suit for national brands for single buildings and then say a 2 to 4 tenant national strip center.

these deals can take forever and a day.I own a 4 acre tract right across the street from the largest Indian casino in Northern CA  ( Graton Casino Rohnert Park)  have owned it since 1994.... there is 50 acres of prime development ground and 11 owners... when I went to a stakeholder meeting with the city.. it was evident that the majority were moms and pops that had NO CLUE about development and one would they think there land is good for this use.. ( which is not even remotely possible given the zone )  you have to fight these things... then one see a listing for dirt somewhere else maybe its a prime 1 acre corner commercial listed at 1 million.. they have 7 acres and jump right to the idea that their piece is worth 7 million...its this type of mindset that is dog tough in these situations..

Good morning Friends.-I have a client who is in need of about $10-$15k in order to fix up a rental property that just became vacant after a long term tenant moved out. They are asking to borrower a total of $50k in or...

Something will pop the current consumer faith in things and the Fed and the media will be powerless to control it.

Have you approached the mom and pop owners in your area to see if they would consider selling?  

One of my friends in California knows I believe we are in another housing bubble and it's getting ready to pop.

You never know when a crazy great opportunity might pop up. 

I agree that the best opportunities (generally) pop up in "B" and "C" class neighborhoods - but reality is, there is no neighborhood where every house is automatically going to be a profitable rental property.

Fear.So yes, this is another "what if crash" thread, because of interest rates, or because someone feels their local market is about to pop so all of America must be in the same boat.If you can not withstand 6% or 8% interest rates over the next 10 years, I would think about selling, building cash, or paying down.
