Quote from @Paul Kubin: Hi, all - I have a good tenant who has had some medical issues and called me asking if she and her husband could install a handrail to get up/down the 3 stairs in front of the house. 

I’m looking to connect with brokers who are active in multifamily and commercial real estateTo give a little context, here’s the kind of opportunities I typically focus on:Multifamily, 20+ unitsStrong and growing marketsSelect commercial: industrial, retail centers, and medical officeProperties with light to medium value-add potentialFlexible approach: open to both traditional transactions and creative structures depending on seller goalsRather than just talking about cap rates and returns from the investor side, I’m curious to hear from brokers:What trends are you seeing in your markets right now?

Michigan is still enjoying its tax money on Marijuana currently but I can clearly see an overabundance of these types of stores which cannot possibly all survive.

But I'd rather have more choices, and significantly better travel options, and of course free EU medical care late in life.

My tenants appear to be respecting the smoking outside policy but I do occasionally smell signs that they’re smoking their marijuana inside.

Keep your medical insurance.For Tennant management check out; California apartment association For contractors check out, CSLB websiteRead real estate books, forget social media.

Because I’ve lived in Augusta my whole life, I know the neighborhoods and rental demand patterns (military, medical, and university tenants are a big driver here).If you’d like, I’d be glad to connect for coffee and share some insight into what’s working right now and what to watch out for.

I think an investment allowing for a tenant service provider to the people of the area (think multi-tenant strip center, single-occupant medical) may be a great opportunity. 

But, these are generally Not Fixers – Most sellers in this situation either:1) Have to sell quickly or2) Don’t have enough equity to cover real estate fees, closing costs and other fees or3) Don’t want to or can’t afford to do repairs and or don’t want to have people traipsing around their house4) Have bought another place and are carrying two mortgages or5) Lost a job or have a medical emergency, etc or6) Are in pre-foreclosure and have to do something quickly or7) Are inherited with a mortgage and can’t make the payment or8) Have a job transfer and need to sell quicklySo, we have the closing expenses and have to give some money to the seller, and start making payments on the loan.

If you guys are in an expensive area, maybe she should sell one or two properties and have a $mil or two in the bank and she can pay for all her medical care cash.
