Others may prefer to take a passive seat while producing more investing dollars with their primary job because the opportunity cost is too great to leave it.All the best!

My vacancy rate averages 2% amd could easily be lower if I put some thought into it.

Credibility is hard to come by and extremely easily lost.So do your best to make sure you provide value.The #1 rule about wholesaling my handsome brother, is that you need to be honest, hardworking and transparent.We get a lot of contracts signed by just telling the owner we are going to wholesale the house, not buy it.Then explain wholesaling to them and how it is far better than any other method of selling for them.

That could easily be $40K in tax right there.

If it's single-purpose (like a drive thru burger joint), you only have historical $/SqFt.If it can be re-purposed easily, vanilla shell with zoning that can handle variety of tenant types, then I'd add some more to the empty $/SqFt.In any case, you're going to need to know sales comps.

If you analyze it that way and it's cash flow positive, that gives you peace of mind that you can easily move out later and keep the property.
