Names and numbers too-Long story short- I bought the house next store, I have a contract on another (owner financing) as well as leads on several more. 

He was getting both sides of the commission, so I'm sure that factored into it.We've also received gift cards from agents, whether it was generic (Visa), Home Depot, or for a restaurant/store.

I met the rehab guys at a Meet up "go to the app store for it" My wife and I go to 3 per month "good adult time" and learn a lot at them.  

1) the city is not very attractive (disjointed development, only one grocery store, cheap retail offerings, etc) 2) they continue to allow driving on the beaches and the rednecks/kids drive crazy so you really have to watch out especially with small kids, 3) during the summer season they allow horse riding on the beach and you will see several "companies' with trailers of horses for rent.  

When I had apartments constant updates were needed.Unless you are getting closed out or dinged out models the cost of materials in an local area is pretty much the same from the discount stores.

I prefer to be closer to stores/restaurants.

So If I wear dark enough glasses The place  looks empty so I can't see any stuff tenant left ,so nothing to store 

And next to that one is another strip center that he fairly new with a Signature Kroger (large grocery store)Office park was built in the early 80's and is all rented out except the 2nd floor in the building I'm looking to purchase.

Though Simonton CV500 from HomeDepot and Pella 250 Series/Milgard Styleline from Lowe's seem to fit my requirement, I am not so sure about giving the work to the big store.

We have "tactical" reserves (really just storing it in tanks) that we fill up that are not available to the market and helps to keep the oil price high.
