Where do you bank? Local CU is the "best" in terms of speed, cost, etc. Whats the loan size?

What's the hipster ratio? I'm serious they blow serious money on rent, food and haircuts. Look for wide brim felt hats and bearded men with bald fade haircuts.  


 I laughed more than I should have!

I wouldn't do it. Retail, hospitality easiest way to lose money. Why not add a restaurant while you're burning some cash?

Target distressed home owners who are tired of managing their property. 


 well, if a seller is living in his commercial property, thats probably automatically distressed!

We are getting deals by cold calling. Build the price based on income that gives you 1-2 basis above your debt costs. Then start throwing offers

Quote from @Chris Blackburn:

@David Ramirez   Thank you.  I wonder what that looks like if they cannot pay the loan back?    If they took the funds knowing that they did not have the liquidity to perform is concerning.   I hate having to white knight these projects, but some of the other members are hurting.  So sad.

If the person who guaranteed the loan cannot pay it back, they may be in trouble and face legal action. 

 They get sued, lose, and get a judgment.

Quote from @Brock Mogensen:

There is no exact mathematical formula for this..unfortunately.  And the exit cap rate is the single most important cell in your underwriting model.  Lots of people pencil whip that number to get a deal work because a lower cap rate moves the needle a ton on overall return figures. My rule of thumb is to use a minimum of 50 bps higher on the exit cap vs going in cap.  If my going in cap is super low (due to value add) then I'll go even higher than that. Use your best judgment, but make sure to remain conservative here. 


 Thanks Brock,

I look forward to working with you in the future. Do you agree that the exit CAP rate should be lower than the entry CAP rate to reflect profitability?


 Not necessarily. general aging of the property would indicate cap rate increases, but if youre adding value with stronger capex or better tenants/leases, then the cap rate can go down. of course, it all assumes interest rates are identical to lending at entry.
