Are you underwriting deals everyday? I think you'd do fine to buy a small building with 1.5m down, we're happy to help with any legal issues. 

I'm from UM law.

You probably don't want a boilerplate agreement for partners. Discuss things like equity contribution, workload, dispute resolution, dissolution, etc. I have a free template on you tube if you google JV Agreement real estate Texas

I would probably hire a non-lawyer for JP court. someone like a PM that does hundreds of these. Watch them and note every step, you can do it next time yourself.

Quote from @Scott Mac:

Los Angeles is geographicaly huge and split into so many different communities, and income levels within communities.

He just wants Los Angeles and not any further granularity?

I say this because for instance a boxing gym might do way better in certain areas than in others.

Or a Pilates vs versa.

Just my 2 cents.


 Very good point, thanks Scott. 


 and size requirements. Are you looking for .5 acre or 3 acres?

Quote from @Brian Plajer:

@Ron

@Ronald Rohde Yes I think it is. Basically large concrete walls that they stand up and add a roof. I've seen another go up 5 mins away and from what I can tell they only have one tenant that moved in. I'm trying to understand the business model.


 Buy land, build large industrial building, sign tenant, sell building after possession=BIG profit.

Thats it.

If you like the market, seems like a decent play with long term upside. You have to hold through a market renewal though. Do you want to do that?

Thank you Ronald. When going through the contract, I sat through numerous of your online videos of how to read and decipher the purchase sale agreement. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. As advised from my broker, I did have a real estate attorney (as they are the experts in translating that document). But it was encouraging to sit alongside you going through all of the verbiage. It was less intimidating with you going through each paragraph and section. Thank you. Unfortunately, this was a no-go as we received no movement on the Seller's side for concessions. Our broker thinks that better or similar returns are out there with less headache.

 Best of luck to you. Appreciate your contribution to my post.


Thats great to hear! Was it YouTube videos or Adventures in CRE.com website?

Post: Cap rate compression

One of the best ways to artificially compress cap rates is to improve the perceived or actual quality of income. Higher credit tenants, meticulous organization, all property maintenance records and PCA with future reserves accounted for in P&L. Thats easy win to take the same property, same income, same tenant and go from a 7 cap to 6 cap.
