I did run across an off market deal that turned into a non-deal (if that's a word).

(Other than my own house)I had all of standard excuses running through my head. 

We hope to both hit the ground running pretty quickly in the coming months.My question for you guys is this:  Once we become more experienced, do you see value in partnering 50/50 on properties in each other's states for Buy and Hold purposes?  

Account Closed,As others have said, sit down or chat with a mortgage person and let them run the numbers.

Have the current  owner get, what are called Loss Runs from each company that had the insured over the past 5 years (or more if you can get them to do it) . 

In the end, ideally, I would be quitting my day job to run this company.  

I've got family there who own property in the area which has been profitable in the long run for them.

We get very good returns in Minneapolis but a condo is not the first thing I would point to  I guess what I'm saying is raise the bar of expectation or someone will sell you something and run-LOL

Your post could be clearer.Buy a daycare building as in a NNN investment OR buy a daycare business to run as an owner/operator?

I am currently transitioning from being a law enforcement supervisor (where I have been for 5 years), to running my own interior design and staging company in Seattle with additional interest in rehab project management for investors/flippers.
