I bet its the former...the impatience is there.  

You can bet that not long after rates rise significantly, banks will start calling these subject to deals to either force a sale or refinancing to reset them to higher rates.

But i bet making a few mistakes is a good place to start. ;)

If you're looking for commercial property, cold calling is your best bet to start.

But, I would bet a quote at 518k (or even 450k) would be basically equivalent in price if not possibly higher than your hypothetical 625k with an admitted carrier.  

Just perusing the web and past MLS listings, these rents seem a little high for the area, but not unreasonable.  

But I am not betting my retirement on it. $55k is a solid amount of money to start your journey. but turning that into $1M will be full of twists and turns and many years of making good decisions.

Thanks, I worked for a fortune 500 company in the finance Dept and they always told me, when I was planning a deal to never do an installment sale, because postponing the tax payment was against the rules. however after a quick search of the IRS web site I see clearly you only pay taxes on the profits you receive in the year that you receive them.

I took a lot of classes online when I got my bachelors and I currently work at a web agency so I feel like I would not have the same issues that many reviewers noted.

Most of the "Memberships" and "meeting fees" go to pay for the space, the marketing, the email and web hosting, equipment costs, and admin expense.
