How how you all handled setting up a new GMB page with a facility that already has one (but not good reviews) and we are rebranding? Do we need existing owners to remove their GMB page first?

You can request to take ownership of their current page, then close it down once you have control. You can also pull up their Google page, suggest an edit and then click on "place is closed or not here".
Property Insurance

Ive used Brian Bognadoff and Derek Gariss over at storable a few times and they seem to find a good premium. However, with the goal of completely separating from Storable, I would like to find a new option in the southeast as well.

I’ve heard a few people mention the SBOA but I’m not 100% sure if they offer property insurance.
LOI
Can anyone share their LOI they have effectively used for SS purchases? Would be greatly appreciated.

@Tommy Xaysongkham Appreciate you sharing the previous post. Interesting that the other group is teaching their student to only make seller financing offers. I always think it’s best to offer more than one financing options.

@Daniel Vucelich I have another template I can share as well. Give me a few and I’ll get it over to you.
Negotiating with myself
Here is the quick backstory... When we moved to town i looked up the local commercial brokers and started making some calls to introduce myself. I let them know who I am, what I do and what I am looking for. Then a few weeks ago I get a text from one of the brokers and they have a piece of land I am interested in and they are about to list it. He said he remembered me and wanted to give me a shot at it because I am local. 2 days later I sent an offer at 75% of asking price. Crickets for a week... I call him and he says we are too far apart for them to counter me and the timeline I was offering was too long (I tried to get this locked up for about 5 months!) So I tell him I am happy to shorten my timeline but as a development play I will need a decent window to work with. Then I send another offer at 85% of asking (a week ago) and still no response. To be honest, i am not 100% sure of what I would do with the land but the location makes me think I will have a handful of decent options. My thinking is to get it under contract, then figure the rest out. I am curious to hear from others on this...What would you do in this situation?
Crexi Intelligence vs. TractIQ
When it comes to TractIQ, I am hearing that a lot of the information they pull is incorrect. The last person to tell me this said it is more incorrect data than there is correct! Other than a demo, I have not used TractIQ in a real world scenario. I have dabbled in Crexi Intelligence though and found the data to be fairly accurate at the time. One of the big Crexi benefits that i am aware of is that they can pull mortgage data as well as all owner contact info. Investors will use this data to find loans that are coming due due to a balloon payment and try to find an opportunity. Curious to hear your thoughts on either of these platforms, or if you have found another platform that has worked well for you. Is anyone using either of these on a regular basis and can speak on your experience? https://www.crexi.com/ https://tractiq.com/

@Camille Broom thank you! Are you finding the data from StorTrack to be fairly accurate?
