@Michael K Gallagher it’s zoned C1 so it’s commercial within a residential area. Right across from an elementary school

@Ronald Rohde we got a great deal on it and it’s 30 seconds from my house. I could sell it today and make money but yes we are not sure what we are going to do with it. It does not have a roll up door or loading dock. It’s currently set up for a chiropractor/ doctor office

Hi we recently closed on our first commercial property. The property was a chiropractor for 30 years and is set up like a doctors office. The building is on a very busy road. I’m not sure on how to start the renovation. I’m unsure if I should reach out or advertise to businesses prior to me starting the Reno so I can build to suit or Reno the property in a way that would fit a larger array of businesses. Also a sign comes with the business that needs updated, should I lean towards a digital sign or wait to see what business comes in and get their input? Any advice will help. Thanks

@Marcus Auerbach Mind if I ask what your other venture is ?

Hey guys, I’ve been buying and rehabbing houses since 2019. We currently have 10 single family properties in the best school districts and we self manage. We screen heavy and have never not got paid. I also work as a RN and looking to transition to real estate full time eventually. I really love RE and am wanting to do something that I am passionate about and would compliment my current goals in RE. For those that own property management companies can you give me any insight on what starting one up would look like and your honest opinions of the property management business these days. Thanks
