Investors, Architects, Financial Planners, Insurance, Contractors, Inspectors...etc.

Consider a blanket mortgage with release fees at such small valued properties that's another issue to pulling cash out.Any good financial planners down there (not ins. types, but certified FPs)?

I would keep the cost incorporated in order to account for it if you later decide it is too much for you to do on your own. 2) Just a tip, check with the city planner's office to see if any future plan is going to interupt the flow of business, i.e. major road construction, new zoning laws, new construction.Good luck,Dave

I also work as an event planner and would love our own space for that as well.

In PB county go to the Planning and Zoning division on N Jog rd, and you can sit down with the "planner on duty" and they can help define the limits of the code, and future use codes planned for the area.  

-Have you met with licensed professionals to plan your business and future (attorneys and financial planners)?

Anyways, as a financial planner friend of mine once said: You are always going to have people on both extreme ends of the spectrum when it comes to any kind of investment strategy.

You may want to have a visit with a licensed financial planner and tax consultant to help you with the fundamental considerations as it applies to your present situation, strategy, and goals.The "usual" 20 percent down payment is a moving target.

Only to a trusted and licensed financial planner and tax consultant.

You may also want to consider including a conversation or two with a financial and tax planner to help you create a strategy that includes today and future planning.
