Hey man very inspiring article. Thank you for providing a great deal of detail, this was great. I was wondering if the model you included was available to be purchased or if you were willing to share? Congrats on the deal!

Hey Jonathan! adventuresincre.com has a bunch of free institutional quality models for all sorts of commercial real estate. They also have really great training videos to go along with it. I highly recommend watching Justin Kivels videos.

Great write up! Would love to learn how you saved enough for the down payment, and how you sourced the deal as it was off market?

Hey! Over the past year we built up a database of a few dozen potential investors from existing relationships, coworkers, and mutual connections. For this deal, we ended up going with a single investor who also signed off on the loan. Lesson learned is the importance of presenting a solid deal, business plan, and building trust with your investors.

We have been pursuing the owner for a couple years now and the timing was never right. However, we stayed persistent and the owner finally gave us a call letting us know he was ready to sell and do a 1031 exchange. Lesson learned is that people want to work with those they trust and have a relationship with. He also liked our extreme persistence ;)
