Tenant heard a loud pop during the freeze and now the floor is wet and HVAC lines have standing water in them.Hoping to find a local reputable company to find the problem without breaking the bank.

But about 85-90% of the owners are mom-and-pop, and the key to making a great deal is to buy from them but not to be them. 

I started with no money or experience so raise a bunch of family/friends money and took down a small mom/pop facility.

I just don’t see anything in the future that can cause the bubble to pop.

I definitely agree with what the others have said above.. tough with inventory right now but there are still deals to be found .. you just gotta act quick and have the right team set up to jump on something when it pops up!

What popped in my head is that Eric Thomas quote of "And when you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe - then you'll be successful." 

Thought about if listed before target date (since you save carrying costs) Finding cheaper sources for products, and of course selling above your target price (pop the champagne) Best advice I have seen is pay for labor whether a partners or a sub, set interest for those with invest the cash to help level those investments.

There are apt buildings popping up left and right for sale.

Understand that mom and pop tenants and regionals tend to PAY LESS per sq ft rents whether gross, NN, or absolute NNN.So if I can get a building really cheap then if I get a national chain it's a grand slam, a regional tenant a solid double to triple, a mom and pop a single but still in the game.If I have to pay a premium for the building then best typically to put an option on the property and try to get it to LOI and then executed lease with non-refundable tenant deposit before buying the property.

I plan on moving to Houston after 1 or 2 years of working, depending on if my real estate investing pops off enough; During this time I will be starting my house flipping journey.Would it make sense for me to buy a house and do a live in flip in such a short time frame?
