Be on top of your game, move lightening fast when they ask you for anything and make sure you have a solid contractor who is tech savvy and can handle all of the paperwork requests.

If the proposed use doesn't match the property's zoning, then obviously you can't do the lease.Duplex and other multi-family is probably disqualified, unless it's a multi-use property (mixed business / residence) zoned as such with enough open (outdoor) or floor (indoor) space to meet the requirements of the animals and the business.

Does it have anything to do with being an auto tech?

anything over 100 units is pretty much full time job for a property manager and a maintenance tech,, depending on age of building..It's whats available today and gone tomorrow story,, you never know what can come up for sale..Good Luck. 

I work in tech at a very large tech company and hope to transition in the next 4-5 years to full time investing.

I want to build a multi-billion $ enterprise through real estate and then shift into tech, (possibly real estate in space if the tech is there in a couple decades) so everything I read I think about in terms of systems and growth and sustainability.

My company owns 2 story mixed use property.

Colton Smith - who shares a name with a mixed martial arts fighter - is still listed as an associate director of the Salt Lake City office of Marcus & Millichap Capital CorporationDavid Early - who shares a name with the now deceased actor - was a little more difficult to locate, but appears to now be involved with The Donald and continues to design marketing and sales products.

I can't imagine that trying to add a contract assignment into the mix would be a good idea.

Need to know at minimum the number of units and unit mix.
