@Abel Curiel I've reworked my budget to squeeze an extra $1,000 out of it for the year but unfortunately my income doesn't allow for much more than this. 

And if you do decide to go with the deal of the extra 1k a month, you have to keep in mind that it’s investment in yourself.

I know a lot of people go on about how you don't need a Real Estate License in order to invest, but I could use the extra money, and I think it would provide a good learning experience, and I wanted to... so, that's that.

I would look for a monthly payment, NOT a lump sum and no easement, just a lease.I would also make sure, depending on location, that you have the right to restrict the content if you are leasing to a smaller company or an ad agency.

I, of course, would do my best to make the offer very reasonable, while adding the contingencies.I'm also wondering if my relative inexperience in real estate has resulted in my expectations being a bit high for a listing agent's role in this.

@Aaron Paradis :  Also echoing the above and adding your team to the list.  

The tenants are willing to offer last months rent as well at move-in as an added incentive to compensate for their particular situation.

“Unless we are drinking a lot of Kool-Aid, then it’s a 25.”However, most syndications i have looked at seem to promote their skill in re-positioning to raise rents and adding value...and I am seeing plenty of sponsors promoting IRRs in the 20 ballpark...Maybe the big syndicators haven't caught on yet?

For example, if you are happy with a 7 cap and don't mind a D area, there is plenty of opportunity. 

Did you know you can add value to your properties by installing Solar.  I am helping investors with $0 down, $0 out of pocket Solar on their properties to increase the value of their properties for when you sell, flip...
