I recommend identifying a strategy for your real estate investments first and make sure the market you choose supports this strategy.

If you're looking in the Cleveland market, look for newer vinyl windows and vinyl siding.

Sale-Leasebacks have inherent challenges because the tenant/seller is incentivized to market the property in such a way they get they price they want, but if the entity who signs the lease is weak and there's no personal guarantor, they could stop paying rent the day after you close leaving you high and dry with very little legal remedy.I don't know your market, but in my eyes, any 10% cap offering is either an extremely weak tenant OR a tenant that has very little term remaining with no plans to renew.If I were, you I would very seriously consider how much I like the real estate and what my odds would be of refilling the real estate with the same or better rent and/or a better credit tenant once this tenant goes belly up.

The off-the-market owner & his project manager realized a price discrepancy 1 day prior to closing and they informed the title company to not to complete the Master SS.How long can sueing a seller under specific performance take and what are some options ?
