Arbitrage can work in certain situations.You have to find an owner who will let you do it.

I’ve learned to start the permitting process early and keep a close eye on inspection timelines to avoid bottlenecks.It can be difficult to find contractors who are not only skilled but also reliable and available when you need them.

So yeah, it's an action of weeding out the 199 "bad apples" to find the 1, ONE legitimate person/family. 

However, $1K is much higher than what we pay.We do not allow partial payments and I find it curious that your PM accepted that.  

How does one go about making an offer on a commercial space that is becoming vacant shortly, such that if I cannot find a qualified tenant to fill the vacancy that I can walk away from the deal? 

I’m looking for the milk and cookies but can’t find them:( 

The idea of an assumable mortgage seems very attractive from a cash flow perspective, but unfeasible from a capital perspective.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

How do you find potential revenue, vacancy rates, etc
