Tried marketing to Chicago potentials as a reasonable purchase for spring training buffs and golfers who wanted to play year 'round.

Additionally, be sure to have a solid business plan in place to present to potential lenders.2) In addition to a construction loan, you could also explore other financing options such as traditional mortgages, lines of credit, or even private investors.

I have few properties I am looking to acquire and have no idea how to find potential buyers and discuss deals.

I had wrapped my head around residential not around commercial, But to me the deal seems amazing - you guys tell me 8000 sq. ft building7 storefronts on an active downtown street (all rented and currently have tenants)34 unit mini storage in back lot (29 units rented - the rest of the unrented are being used by the current owner)Asking price is $798,000 and owner is ok with seller financingAfter sitting with them today the owner who is 83 said he is ok seller financing and verbally agreed to $715,000 and a 4% interest rate, 30 year note, $100,000 down payment, no early payoff penalty - my lender and real estate agent both came back valuing the property as it sits at $840,000Income = Rentals ($5075) Storage Units ($1935) = $7010speaking with the owner he hasn't raised the rent on either the storefronts or mini storages for almost 10 years - looking at comparables in the area we believe we can raise the rent and storage units easily to push the income up to $10,000 a month 4 of the 7 Tenants have been there 5 years plusCost = Including estimated payment, taxes, insurance ect. would come to a monthly of = $4450that would cashflow $2560 a month at its current with the potential after purchase and rent adjustments cashflow $5460 a monthPending an inspection the property looks in good shape with little to none improvements needed at this timeA quick background I have had rentals before on the farm we own, three houses we rented out so I have some experience) My QuestionsIs this a good deal???

I wanted to get some recommendations or advice as to how I could potentially partner with a developer that may specialized in rural development.

She agreed to cash for keys but wanted a bit more time,   my attorney worked with the bank and was able to push out the close.Today I went to present the contract the the lawyer drew up for cash for keys and the person now wants to get out earlier and is looking to push the date up.a good friend of mine had a saying,   every now and again the sun shines on a Dog's A$$.it was sunny today.........

The geo report classifies it as “potentially active” and minor.

They get the cost step up basis and now they can sell or even better keep the company going and expanding and potentially have a much more comfortable life The nice thing about RE is you can do it for as long as you want - it's not a physically demanding job.

You could potentially put 4 of the 5 into a portfolio, but the one you are estimating to be worth $39k would be left out.

This is a long term investment for me, so I am not concerned with short term, potential market fluctuations as all RE goes up over time.
