Renting. I won't be able to afford a piece of commercial property for another couple years unless I want to get reamed with interest. Selling my condo this year and buying a house, so that's eating up the savings.

This office is twice the size of my old office and it was necessary to hire additional sales people. I signed a 2 year lease to control growth. I decided I don't want more than 3 sales people for now. Putting a small holding pattern on my "one salesman per year" goal. I plan to just farm the profit of the 3 before re-investing. This will hopefully allow me to buy a multi-unit mixed use piece of proeprty when my lease is up in 2 years.

Up Up and away.

I talked with the landlady because the flat roof behind the mansard had a leak and he roofer charged her to fix it even though it was under warranty. She said the roof was only 4 years aold but all this schlub did 4 years ago was re-glaze it with hot asphalt.

I'm trying to lock her into maintenance agreements on her properties and use it to barter against my rent.

Smart move. I did that in a sense with an ex-lanlord of mine....every new property or move out, I get the floor work. When I rented from her it payed my rent and now it has turned out to be a sweet little deal worth an extra 10-15K a year for basically making some phone calls.

Congrats on the new place.
