*Tight leases- We have a 16 page lease that strictly out line the tenants responsibility.

There are younger guys who could use the work :-) I really only do it for enjoyment now, so if I need quick turn around time I hire it done.I don't really have a "type" of commercial space--wouldn't necessarily want a restaurant as a tenant  (too unpredictable) unless it was a popular and established business.  

I hate having a bunch of specialized tools laying around taking up space. 

@Felix GoldsteinI invite you to talk to vena Cox Jones in Cincinnati who runs the REIAI want you and every other Ohio real estate investor to understand the law and understand what the regulators want to seeLicensed agents and brokers don't like wholesalers because of the stories that they hear re the time that's wasted; with credit being tired, average person can't get a mortgage is easily, and there aren't a lot of institutional buyers right now like BlackstoneCredit is very tight right now and many agents and brokers are not making a lot of money and they have more time on their hands to complain about wholesalers to OH regulatorsI think in Ohio having so many great "rent to value ratios" compared to other parts of the country, what I mean by "rent to value" is say you have $100,000 house that rents for 1200, that's a great yieldOhio is not alone, Florida and California are mandating licensing to hold people are talking to homesellers about selling their house, to at least receive a certain level of real estate education, training, at least knowing the local and state lawsSelling your house is not like selling a car.  

There is a probate hearing coming up in a couple of weeks, and I've talked with the attorney handling the case- pretty tight-lipped about any details, but she did confirm that the estate will definitely be selling the property.

He runs a pretty tight ship over there and they come in at the usual 10%.

I'm located in Salem and am looking into small multi-family 5-15 units, or larger with a partnership.I think with interest rates where they are, most of us in the multi-family space are looking for maximum cashflow for re-investment.

Condo regime is a great alternative.If you do a balloon, have your numbers tight because that's a dangerous way to finance if you aren't careful.

This might be a great place to start on a really tight budget or a great place to start if you have bigger pockets than the rest of us.Good luck, friend.
