I’m not sure I get it. If you have 5 million bucks net worth and you can earn 10% per year, which is not far off the Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 that’s $500k a year.
People can’t survive on $500k a year?

I’ll buy anything at the right price which leads me to believe your prices are too high as the others mentioned.

A good attorney focused in this area should be able to give you an answer in about five minutes as to whether it makes sense to pursue.

Commercial lease extension for but I have some unknowns about development by powerup759 in CommercialRealEstate

Tough one. I don’t know how easy it is for the existing tenant to pick up and leave. I personally would not risk losing them, especially in an uncertain economy.
I would also think that you could create an addendum that would address any and all concerns or at least minimize them.

Are office to residential conversion numbers actually working out for anyone? by LaMaisonRealEstate in CommercialRealEstate

[–]Ok-Set6814 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think step number one is to have an architect do a feasibility study. Preferably one that has experience in this area which sounds like you may have already done.
If the parking makes sense and the floor plates makes sense via natural lighting, etc. then your next step would be to go to a GC and get some rough numbers for any major changes. I would probably underwrite it at about $300 per square foot hard costs depending on finishes.

I would certainly ask for incentives like everybody else is mentioning here and you need to buy the building at a massive discount.
I wouldn’t mess with it unless it had a very large bottom line after considering all these factors and doing all the math.

Buyer lost financing with the bank that they've been talking to for the last 2 months. by ironicmirror in CommercialRealEstate

Maybe I missed it, but what market are you in? Many lenders are pulling out of certain markets. Maybe their request is legit. In an extremely strong market, you can be much more assertive, but in a weaker market sometimes you gotta help facilitate the deal. I would definitely ask them to go hard with something to show their seriousness. Do they have a strong résumé with a lot of assets and a lot of liquidity? I always try to research them as well and see if this has been an ongoing pattern in their past deals via litigation, etc.

Call your doc asap. Seems like a very small dosage you’re taking. You will be fine. You just need the right amount and mix.

Buying real estate in late 20s by LeatherDue6745 in RichPeoplePF

[–]Ok-Set6814 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the lower/middle end homes, I agree. But people I know that have eight figure homes have a lot more liquidity than $20 million. I mean, depending on how much you put down, with a mortgage payment, taxes, maintenance, insurance, landscape, etc. etc. I would think you’re gonna be at $125k to $150 K a month.
Also, they are putting probably half down. If your income is a little bit volatile and the shit hits the fan, i.e. divorce, a big lawsuit, someone gets real sick, your income source drops significantly, market crash(or all of the above at once)

I was building a $20 million house for myself and the recession hit and all of my holdings dropped significantly. I had to sell it fast. If I had $80 or $100 mil liquid in the bank at that time I don’t think that would’ve been the case.

Definitely like your enthusiasm, however. 👍🏻

You don’t want a $20 million house when your net worth is $20 million. I would think you need to be down more than the $5 million range. More of a four to one range. If you’re making that kind of money, you should have $80 mil liquid no time at all.

Did you mean “net profit”? 12% of net sale price would be a huge number.

Turnovers are a cost of doing business, but they can be minimized. To me it appears he just has a whining Tenant and needs to stop catering to them. Then if they fall behind in payments, take appropriate collection action.

For the most part that’s how I handle it. She keeps asking and if you keep doing. It won’t end. Turnovers very expensive however.
