The overall agreement is a combination of 4 people, and 2 contracts/agreements...with a possible (that's the goal) 3rd:A - The 4 people involved     1 - The Seller      2 - The Landlord      3 - The Buyer     4 - The TenantB - The 2 Contracts/Agreements    1 - The Option Agreement - Between the Buyer and the Seller *    2 - The Lease Agreement - Between the Tenant and the Landlord *    3 - The Typical Purchase Agreement ***  The Landlord and the Seller are two different people...even though they most likely have the same S.S.

I know many lenders may require a longer seasoning period.Looks like your expense estimates are pretty conservative (15% combined R&M/CapEx is pretty conservative after a rehab), which is good.

I don’t have any mortgages at all on some of my properties, but combined I’d say it’s about 40% - 50% LTV ratio.

That combined with your knowledge of what rehabbed comps go for, and you can know quickly, sometimes in minutes, if a deal is worth pursuing.I buy, rehab, and hold property, and walking through with the inspector during my due diligence is also great knowledge.Hope that helps,- Tom

Malls and lifestyle centers anchored by these types of tenants will face dual challenges of a sudden loss of rent revenue, as many stores have already defaulted on April payments, and accelerated closures and bankruptcies combined with the costs associated with repositioning and leasing the large spaces they once occupied.

There was an item that would have made the value add challenging and when we combined that risk with the risk of the current environment, we chose to pass even with a good potential upside. 

I paid all-cash with a combination of savings, non-retirement investments, and cash value from a life insurance policy.

I put together a power point presentation based off of Brandon Turners book (Rental Property Investing) to market to friends and family in Los Angeles, CA however the combined experience here well surpasses my own.

Cliche' I know, but I strongly believe that you'll never regret having the right structure combined with a REI friendly insurance plan.

Combine this with ~20% decline of the stock market.
