Guaranteed this will put a end to any tenants ever paying late.If this is not within your abilities you live with tenants paying late. 

There's a lot of great advice here on this thread.My partner and I made a list of many cities in the US and made an excel sheet to track metrics like population growth, job growth, affordability, Fortune 500 companies in the city, demographics, and other factors.

Assuming you are able to understand the transaction and are confident in your ability to represent your own interests then call the selling agent directly. 

We can talk specifics if you want but there is household growth, job growth, population growth going on in the area which allows for great investing fundamentals.

That requires non-mathematical skills - relationship building, persistence, diligence, organizational abilities - that will help you go ahead of the math nerds ;)P.S.

Been an owner for 4-5 years, learned quite a few things already, among which is that a commercial kitchen is not something to be made or modified lightly - it has to be properly designed and properly made in order to function well.So I have this retail store of about 1100 sqft that someone wants to take for a small coffee shop with the ability to bake.My question is where do I start searching for someone to design/compute small walk-in cooler, grease trap, vent-a-hood, stove and HVAC on top of that so all this could become useable without anyone getting burned.From my past experience I have local mexican crews who can do any and all of the listed things and they'd do them relatively well except they won;t ever be designed to actually work well together.On the other end of the spectrum I've worked with american general contractors and they tend to cost 2-3 times the Mexican crews and, at least in my case, ended up delivering about same end result (in all fairness it was only kitchen remodeling, not design from ground up; but statement stands valid and I was able to later do almost the same at literally third of the cost).Your expertise is appreciated.

@Deepak Kumar, I live in Northern California and closed on an 8-plex a week and a half ago and am in contract on a 44 unit in Tucson as we speak, so I can’t speak from experience as of yet but I agree the Tucson market looks good in my opinion.In regards to job growth, Caterpillar is moving it’s headquarters to Tucson (google caterpillar and Tucson) and Geico is building a corporate office there.

But, that has no affect in the ability to “vacate a foreclosure sale”.  

Some lack the ability to read and write too.

The city is vibrant with good job growth, and there is a strong rental market and short-term airbnb does well there, and lots of smaller multi-families with good bones.
