Happy to send you the properties I find in Colorado Springs if that sounds like a fun place for you to live.

I'm super excited to get the wheels turning as this seems like a fine path to investing for me at this time -- but I'm really curious what everyone else is doing to make investing work in Jacksonville -- especially given the "fun" of the Florida Homeowners Insurance market. 

@Gabriela Angel,First-- you need to start fresh with a lease that you provide them, stating YOUR terms and YOUR Expectations of them.

I buy stock out of laziness but am more heavy into cash equivalentsRE is more fun IMO but I am more entrepreneurial.

It's a sleepy read, but I do recommend reading the NYS Tenant Protection Act of 2019 -- 55 pages of fun!

I don't know, but you would 100% want to check in with the existing optometrist, maybe they don't get "walk in" business anyways and do not care and wouldn't mind the like-minded neighbors (I've had mortgage neighbors before, and do not care -- I do mortgages they don't, case in point office mortgages across the country, so I wind up getting business from them), but an ice cream shop is going to be LIVID if you rent the unit next store to a frozen yoghurt shop, since that's a LOT of walk-in business that's now getting split two waysAnd then to make it really fun, here's the question I'll throw back at you.
