Would love to advance to commercial real estate and a lot of buy and holds.

Hello all,I'm in the beginning stages of my real estate investing journey, and I want to hold my rental properties in an legal entity.

Are you in a position where you are able to sell at the appraised value and hold a second position note on the remaining balance?

I am interested in buy and hold, cash flow investments. 

there was a lot of failures in this model with some of the poorer providers who are no longer in business. this led most TK operators to only offer product post rehab and many with tenant in place.. of course the holding costs of doing this must be backed into the end price.So if you can find a VERY good and reputable company that can do pre hab type deals you should be able to get a better buy as it relates to basis in the property.  

CA prime spots are a long term buy and hold play.. as we know the CA market is subject to some swings in values some can be dramatic.. but over time the state has shown some of the best performance in the entire US... but if your one who worries about value on a daily basis then RE can drive you nuts... if you have a long term investing horizon then you buy and hold and if and when we hit a trough you hold through the trough.. you only lose money when you sell at poor times. 

Interested in information on commercial rental property.I currently own a lot that will hold a 5 plex.  

The more I think about how I'd like to find a buy and hold property, the more sense it makes to market like a wholesaler.

But If i can't get the right price I would hold & rent.My question ...

Buy and Hold?
