Fast Food Landlord

I'm a business person.
I'm used to dealing with businesspeople.
So why was I dealing with tenants I couldn't count on to pay rent?
Couldn't count on for anything, really.
That's when I realized I had to focus on commercial real estate.

A tenant torched my storage units at 3AM.

The night after I evicted everyone.

That was it. I was done.

I'd spent years chasing rent from a drug dealer. Cleaning up after a hoarder. Fixing things I had no business fixing.

Every month was a fight.

This was supposed to be passive income.

Then I met a guy in his 80s. Owned 20+ Dollar Generals.

I asked what he did when something broke.

He looked at me like it was a strange question.

""The tenant handles that. I don't do anything. I'm an investor. Not a landlord.""

That was the shift.

Triple net lease. Tenant pays the taxes. Tenant pays the insurance. Tenant fixes everything.

You collect rent. You find the next deal.

The problem was never real estate.

It was the tenant.

A drug dealer and a hoarder are not a business model.

Dollar General and AutoZone are.

Your tenants should be corporations. Not people.

How much did you actually pay out on your rentals last year — taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance?

In a triple net lease, that number is zero.

The tenant covers all of it.

People hear ""$100 million portfolio"" and assume there's a full team behind it.

There isn't.

It's my wife and me. That's it. 40 properties, 90 tenants, 100 investors... and Amanda puts in about 10 to 15 hours a week managing the whole thing.

Most people in residential real estate work harder than that on a single fourplex.

The difference isn't how hard you work. It's what you own. Corporate tenants don't call us at 3AM. They don't ask us to fix the toilet. They pay rent, they handle their own maintenance, and they sign leases that last 10 to 25 years.

We built this around a lifestyle first. Traveling with our kids. Running ultras. Doing the things we actually wanted to do when we got into real estate in the first place.

The portfolio had to fit that. Not the other way around.

We own the real estate. The real estate doesn't own us.

That's the whole point.

Most LOIs lose before they get read.

Sellers see five identical legal documents a month. Same template. Same boilerplate. Same vibe of a corporate buyer who'll send a paralegal to closing.
We've won a lot of opportunities just by adding this letter to the front of our LOI.

5 lines that change how the seller reads the offer:

Thank them for the opportunity.
Tell them you're a lifelong resident of their city.
State what you're actively investing in.
Share a bit about you and why you're buying.
Include a photo.

This makes us look like real humans and not just some big corporate private equity company.

Sellers don't pick the highest bidder. They pick the buyer they trust.

Time to make some deals.
