Its not at all difficult to do exactly that, especially if you start leveraging that money or you invest in any sort of leveraged private placement.

I am sure you have all sort of spreadsheets and formulas on your PC.

I was planning on contacting some of the owners in order to see if they are looking to sell or work out some sort of deal.Unfortunately for me this is coming at one of the worst times as I am about to have the majority of my liquid assets tied up in a purchase that is in the process to close….taking forever going on 4 months since the initial offer.Besides the aforementioned research I have approached my banks to see if I may be able to apply for a general pre-approval for a maximum amount so that if I was to jump on a deal I could get the financing hammered out in the time before final payment is due (waiting for a call back).

I assume I need some sort of document just not sure what.

Do you have any sort of agreement documents outlining when you can pull your money out, quarterly update requirements or anything?

If you were looking to purchase a buy-and-hold rental in this manner, what sort of terms would you look for that would be fair to both parties involved?

These people are in charge of fixing minor things throughout the portfolio but the main job is to coordinate and manage sub contractors that we send out to some of the larger jobs.

Look for cracks (larger than hairline) in the foundation to see if there are issues there as well.

I like commercial because there is not as much competition for it.You can structure a deal more creatively and there are more different types of lender loans than for residential.Residential is highly regulated by the government now.Commercial I don't want the government messing it up as well and squashing creative financing.I like commercial for economies of scale and ramping up larger transactions.You can make money in residential it is just not my thing.I like retail and multifamily.Medical will be hot for many decades to come as well with the boomer generation retiring.I don't care much for industrial but I am seeing some transition areas where a developer takes an industrial shell of a warehouse leasing at 2 sq ft.They put improvements in and get rezoned to mixed use retail and get 15 sq ft lease rates.

No if you asking price is way less than the list price then the investor may develop some sort of respect for you.
