You might look into a hanging vanity if you want to class the bathroom up for an extra $200. 

More than likely, you need to get the seller to carry for 7 years and not 5 so you have an extra 2 years to hit your goal.I would not worry about whether the tenants will be long-term or short-term as the market will decide that for you.

My tenants appreciate it and hopefully the extra effort pays off in the long run. 

Yes, we convert our development, ownership and the extra equity in the property.  

Although I have an extra vehicle I could sell to come up with a few thousand dollars.

I can handle paying that extra bit of negative cash flow per month but is it worth it?

Management is usually not as intensive as say multifamily but still has work so need to make sure you are getting extra yield for return over a single tenant NNN property that is investment grade.The amount of work with a retail center depends on the tenant mix of national, to regional, to mom and pop tenants.As far a tenant going dark you the landlord will then have to entice another tenant to lease the space and everything is negotiable as to lease structure, landlord TI's, leasing commissions, etc.

When you buy a property for cash, spend the extra money to pay for title insurance.

Claiming discrimination is not acceptable...you don't deserve that - but you do have a knowledge gap that may make it appear that you're avoiding something that could come back to haunt you under the Fair Housing Act.My recommendation: stop positioning yourself as a victim and start over with the caseworker.

@Caroline Gerardo wow thanks the side business makes an extra 800 or so a month and anyway I can talk to you for more information
