This property caught my eye for several reasonsmostly because I drive by it frequentlyit offers a commercial space, apartments, and mobile home lotsit's close to my other investments and where I liveI feel like this is an area ready to grow (it's the non-interstate link from big town to small town)it's not so expensive I can't find a way to do the dealI've been investigating mobile home investing lately, and this is one way to learn thatI don't have a physical office space for my business, and this would lend credibility to my business (and allow me to have high-speed internet, which I can't get currently)I can use an apartment and rent my SFR for morethe mixed use feels like diversificationI wouldn't be surprised to see an investor try to buy this and several other spaces up for a large developmentI see potential in possibly converting the mobiles to tiny houses and increase rents accordinglyI'm not in love with the deal, but a couple of those reasons would sway me to consider a less-than-great deal, for non-financial reasons.The numbers really look not very good, and it looks like a bad deal as it sits, considering I'm adding 1000 in rent increase and no rehab in this scenario. 

Typically such restitution is a one-off, so it's rare to have systematized it... it's like getting so many DUIs and speeding tickets that you have a "system" for handling the penalties. 

For training in first position notes I learned through @Scott Carson - he and Eddie speed are the two largest I am familiar with.

My first was a 17" that lasted me until 2015, when I upgraded to a 15" with a sold state drive - and that makes a big difference in speed!

The two speeds "stop" and "slow" ain't gonna cut it in this business, Sergio.

I’m a data junkie and love to learn but there comes a point where you have to take definitive action to add depth to your understanding.For me, one action step has been to learn where the experienced investors are and connect with them to speed up my understanding.

Dan Hi Dan, I think of it this way.Hard Money Lenders are people in the business who respond quickly, are set up to do real estate transactions and charge more money for the convenience and speed.

If you'd like some info about the New Orleans market shoot me a PM and I'd be glad to bring up to speed.

I used it to pay off my primary home mortgage in order to speed up getting rid of that debt.

The brokerage seems to be growing rapidly;  can this be sustained in the long run with very little brand recognition amongst customers (compared to a Keller Williams, REMAX, Coldwell Banker etc.)?
