Hey guys, Looking for input on a retail deal I'm helping a friend with.

Dealing with contractors ? 

Additionally, the seller won’t provide the financials, so how do you know it’s any kind of “deal”.  

I've spent the last year following the real estate market and learning more about it, finally feel ready to make the jump to invest (especially since the deals are coming out to light). 

What are some things I should consider with this deal that will help me scale my portfolio in the next few years?

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

It's antiquated at this point and I'd be leery toward anyone pitching properties based on this metric.Do deals still work?

We've seen seller financing come back in a big way, and I think it will continue as debt continues to be challenging.Syndication, raising capital for less experienced operators, and those who have challenging deals, will be more difficult in this part of the cycle.What tools/strategies are you using to close deals today?

Cash invested: $80,000 Househack with roommates and airbnb What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Change orders can kill deals at this price point.
