One thing about SC is you are being charged 4% owner occupant taxes.  

Check out the website for each city and if needed contact code enforcement to get a current checklist for the certificate of occupancy. 

Properties of that size have local specialized large PM companies that know that demographic and the connections to keep occupancy up and vacancy down.

I highly recommend that during your due diligence you speak with an expert with regards to the dentist's occupancy within the space, more specifically, any potential issues due to x-ray's.

The 8 units that have been completed are rented and have been at 90%+ occupancy for the last 2 years, 6 of them are being leased by a major corporation that needs housing for employees in the area.

If you look at all the occupations involved in a RE Deal: RE Broker, Appraiser, Inspector, Mortgage Broker, Attorney, Electricians, Carpenters, Plumbers, Landscapers, etc They only make crumbs or a small slice of the pie compared to the Investor.

So while it is NNN there are some overflow costs that the owner pays some on.I like strip centers because it is like apartments with breakeven occupancy versus a single NNN building.If you are doing a vacant strip center it takes awhile from the leasing up to execution of the lease because of TI's to start the rent once occupancy occurs.What kind of loan depends on the size of the property and quality of the asset.Sellers and brokers market NN as NNN all the time.

One has to wonder who the 'buyer's' agent is truly representing.The way it's evolved for the bulk of SFH sales to owner occupants, and with all the money NAR has spent on marketing to the general public in the last decade, buyers now know and understand that they have to have an agent if they want to make an offer.

I will be owner occupant of this apartment so I want it look good. 1.
