So recently bought a building with 2 tenants inside with leases ending toward December. One is just a mom and pop store so I know I can just walk over to them and talk with the owner. However the other is a large rent...

I'm interested in starting big and going bigger, with the backing from my corporate boss.

You could explore with your respective accountants creating a holding corporate structure that would take title to, control, and manage the portfolio.  

If that doesn't get things moving, I'm at a loss for ideas.Oh, and if anyone here has used ListSource for apartment building searches before, I have a couple of questions:- Those on the SFR side of things typically mark "Exclude Corporate-Owned Properties".

Never finance long term assets with short term financing, that's a basic rule in corporate finance or business finance. 

@Marcia LangleyOur plan is to rent the house we're negotiating on for multiple uses - weddings, vacations, events in town, but also as a possible short term weekly or monthly rental for corporate or academic groups.  

@Jason Hardin I would strongly suggest you establishing a Corporate Entity such as a S Corp or a LLC.

I eliminated any properties owned by a corporation, LLC, or investment firm. 

@Natalya Whitaker,Well, first guess time is you're going to have a lot of folks Googling "scrum" and then trying to figure what a software development methodology or a Rugby term has to do with REI.Nice "Corporate America" thinking, though, and I can see the advantage of dividing crews up into teams each with a dedicated goal.Focused project management by your GC would produce good results, I'm sure.My $0.02...David J.

That is where you tend to lose you shirt on value with a downturn those areas are the first to get hit hard and the corporations with rising wage costs can pull out.
