The public store footprint doesn't go away it just changes with the technology.Commercial real estate will always be around.The only retailers in trouble are those who didn't make the changes early and now how extra space they do not need with more of their sales going online.Best Buy is one of those retailers.Many myself included walk into the store just to look around and then see online if we can locate the product for a cheaper price.

He went for it (forgave - release) and I gained an additional $30K in equity.This move alone paid for any expenses used to renovate the properties and bring them up to and beyond par.Hopefully, Joshua will allow this site up as a reference - not selling any product. ******** Here is my website (www.twinash.net) of those 4plex buildings for reference (sold 12 years later) - which BTW is a great tool when advertising a vacant unit, this simple website alone cuts out the headache of showing up, wasting time and gas when dealing with potential clients or tenants who drive off or do not show up themselves.

So far I have not had any recuring problems with this approach.If you have ever used a wood preservative product that was green, it is because of the copper content.

The actual flippers and rehabbers I've seen lately are being forced to sell for a smaller margin OR try and convince end users that their overpriced product is a "good" deal.

Liquor laws limit where you can buy your product.

What you'll find is the act of thinking about and writing your plan is more valuable than the end-product.

Also, if you live in a small area, not having any other investors in that market might be a good sign, less competition.The fact you like self storage doesn't mean anything if there isn't a demand for the product, so do the research on your market, not just the concept of self storage units as an investment.Most people are nervous about their first project, no matter what it is, and the only way to get past that is to go through it... jump in!

We also add a gift certificate to the restaurant [which the owner gives me a big discount on] and a plate of home made cookies.Next to the basket, I have a decorated box that has some of my Avon products, toilet paper,paper towels, one towel, one washcloth, one bar of soap, several toothbrushes and toothpaste, a small pack of tylenol, stuff like that.All 3 families have been ecstatic over what was waiting for them.
