Mixed Use Properties
Hey all, What is the best way or ways to look for / search for mixed use properties? Looking for retail and apartment mixed use properties (under 75 units) but having a hard time finding anything online.
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce it's more area dependent. It might be your investment area of choice that type of product is not developed there.
I see that design more in urban core areas with walkability.
Might just want to take a drive ten miles in a circle and spend a day looking around. If you want that product and it's not in your area then you can either try to change an existing building to it if the demand is there, demolish and old build or buy vacant land and build it, or find it available in another area.
If you demolish an old building sometimes the benefit is it's an eyesore to the community already where you are not tearing away nice trees etc. so you get easier approval to re-adapt the space and the community comes on board faster.
