What Are You Seeing Out There??

[MD Fernandez]

Hello All and Happy Holidays,

I'm planning to invest in commercial rental property in the Ft Lauderdale/Miami area.  I am seeing what appears to be a growing number of sellers offering seller financing.  Certainly, the current interest rate climate has contributed to this, and that climate may or may not change in the coming year...who knows at this point.  In my case, I would definitely like to do a master lease/option strategy if that's even realistic in today's market for commercial rentals.  So that's the question:  What are you seeing out there these days in terms of how open sellers are to structuring deals this way?  Especially in the area mentioned in the first sentence.
