This is the main market for these businesses that rent you a "legit business address", to cater to startups looking to build credit. 

I recently had a flood in one of my rental properties caused by a broken pipe outside the building.

It is a 7-unit building in Frederiksted and we put it in a USVI LLC for the corporate protection benefits. 

Then speak with the planner to see what types of businesses / buildings they think are a good fit for the property based on the master plan for the area. 

It was going to be a new build.

So if you are talking about buying a 6 to 20 unit building I would stick to Abilene.

When speaking to the owner (building rapport), your main goal is to figure out which of these main 3 is most important to them.

Fourth Start Small Select properties that align with your budget and investment goals and also consider Location Matters, Due Diligence, Build a Reliable Team, review Risk and Reward and continuous learning the most important.

🚲💼❤️Even with 40 years in real estate, I felt the same way about buying my first apartment building.

By having more tenants there are more eyes to watch for issues that may pop up, more people paying rent, and if you have one of the units vacant for a bit, it will not hurt the bank as bad as it would if you only have two tenants in the building and one of them left.
