I know others say it's a place where deals go to die but I found a commercial building with a triple net tenant and a development lot and after negotiating got 40% off the asking. 

Doing so has made me realize that REI is the best way to go and so my significant other and I have started to read books geared towards not just Investing but also business development.

@Travis Weitthoff - I was wondering the same, the seller is a firm that specializes in developing and stabilizing multi family investments on the South Side of Chicago, so I'm going off the assumption that the numbers they gave me were from last years actuals, but not positive.

Very easy, except you’re going to lose it in an extra month or two of rent.

Are there any legal issues with carrying a firearm while on your rental property just as an extra precaution in Florida? 

The buyer should realize the first may not approve enough to the second to make them happy, so the buyer should plan on kicking in some extra money.  

Now he calls me and needs extra month because of breakup and needs to find another place.

I am going to be spending very little, as we're hand writing all of the envelopes *which are free from a local printing company that has nice extra envelopes*, and the letters are going to be printed and signed.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

We don't always get charged extra, but we often do.
