Can't be helped, Mother Nature whacked us.

ethnic oriented, due to its very nature (and we have tons of that here in So Cal)3. 7-Eleven anchored (single tenant), as I don't see the convenience store going away.

Keep it simple.Have skin in the game.You don't want to find yourself in a situation where it's you vs. the "little old lady" that you somehow took advantage of.

What the seller wants is for the buyer to have skin in the game.If they let the property go it is going to feel painful for them so they will fight through the hard times to keep the property performing.If a seller owners finances and the buyer puts little to nothing down it can be a major mistake for a seller.So I run into 80% pretenders and 20% REAL buyers.There are many things to invest in you just have to know what you are doing.You can get in for less than 20% but you will be eaten up on the interest rate.You have to find a seller in a very weak state to owner finance and agree to hardly putting anything down with a great rate.Banks for a great rate want 25% in my area.

Even if it is a corporation the essential nature of the income is not changed either.

I'm naturally more friendly with my tenants which helps longevity but when people start to take advantage of you, you gotta see it and take the steps to evict or cut ties while minimizing your losses.

Natural Gas, certain agriculture plays, water purification companies.

Others aren't as direct, so interject my questions at natural points within our dialogue.I strongly agree with Rob: "It's not the house, it's the seller".

Your buyers will also know that you are flipping either a contract or property due to the nature of the transactions.

Are they required, under penalty of fine or prison, to fully disclose the nature of their transactions?
