I've only dealt with residential at this point but am looking into self storage and on my search for commercial I stumbled upon a car dealership property where the owner is moving out of state and motivated to sell the property.

This is most important in states where licensure is optional.

Here's a deal I'm going to break down pretty thoroughly on my process of evaluation.

I would contact the housing authority who manages the S8 program in your area to get an accurate ideal of how they determine what they'll pay on the tenant's behalf.

Each buyer would receive 10-12 weeks of usage and a deed to their 25% share of the property.

I'm particularly passionate about cash flowing for financial independence and renovating with my construction experience.Outside of real estate, I enjoy fishing, ultimate frisbee, skiing.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

If you know of any good resources—books, threads, podcasts—on the subject, I’d also appreciate the recommendations!

RARELY.Fact 2:If you need to send 3000+ mailers to people on this lists to get one deal, it means 2999 people of the 3000 you spend money on to chase, are not interested, not motivated, and thus the wrong audience.That is a 99.97% failure rate. 

I have researched the property and from what I can find, the owner died 4 years ago.

During my 1 year of living in the property I will be building my down payment on the next property.
