Off-market deals have been MUCH more practical during times when interest rates were higher and consumer confidence was way lower because it's almost the only thing sellers could get.

I also lived and flipped one home in El Paso TX with modest return.

The idea of business tenants over consumer type tenants appeals to me.  

Plus the busy road seems to keep other problems at bay.It is about an hour away from where I live now though, and dealing with flakes (sometimes all the appointments flake, try to have a few at a time so as not to make it a wasted trip) is time consuming. 

It's not only time consuming but can also require a thick skin....I have had to break up more than one fight between subs who were voicing their opinions about each other's work.  

Paying off personal debt makes this a consumer loan (versus a business purpose loan to an investor) and subjects the lender to all rules and regulations of CFPB.  

I am a facilities manager with a modest ability in construction.  

All the federal numbers are cooked to prop up consumer confidence along with rosy media spin.

Challenges I see might be securing land and getting it "ready" to accept your containers for the modest investment you have on hand.  

The impact I'm worried about from elction results is consumer confidence and faith in the government.
