2025 Real Estate A Strategic Look at Leasing, Buying, and Protecting Your Store Locations Webinar

May 22, 2025 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm CDT
Speakers: Larry & Steven Carrico, SKC Enterprises Inc. dba Rent One and RNR of Missouri LLC dba RNR Tire Express

Larry and Steven Carrico will share how, over the past 30+ years, their team has created over 750,000 square feet of rental assets throughout the Midwest. It all started with a fire in 1996 and nowhere to go. The Carrico’s will discuss how to:

  • Negotiate a lease versus a property purchase and avoid the ‘gotchas’
  • Create a competitive advantage that banks want to see when working with real estate
  • Calculate a CAP rate to help understand one of your most prominent assets
  • Learn how to avoid personal guarantees, lower NNN, and create long-term renewals
  • Protect your core RTO business assets while enhancing your balance sheet with properties as the leverage

These and many other questions can help you win with real estate. Let’s talk strategy!

Please join us on Thursday, May 22, 2025, from 2:00-3:00 PM (Central Time).
