However, if you're strapped for cash and looking for the lowest hanging fruit, then I would definitely get a list of code violations from your city.

In the past year or so, that area has built a Chipotle, Jamba Juice, Wingstop, Yogurt Land and the Sprouts is currently under construction for expansion. 

But do not try and negotiate price based on these findings, because as stated price per square foot is not a useful measure to valuate real estate, meaning other strategies of negotiation will be more fruitful. 

.- Social networks are another low hanging fruit.

I can do 1-2 rooms of baseboards easily without running out of juice.

I would like to connect with you and or other experienced investors on BP from our area to learn more about the actual investment aspect of the business and to possibly establish a fruitful relationship at some point in the near future.

Seems like consulting with a LOCAL lawyer about what YOU should do would be prudent.If it's on our mind too much, (you can only do so much) go do something to lessen your stress, Golf driving range, batting cage, walk in the park, make a mixed drink with some fruit on it, etc..Good Luck!

Currently converting an old cannary, fruit processing company, low security prison (this is a big one!).  

A bowl of fruit on the kitchen counter.

It seems cash buyers/investor types are sucking up all of the low hanging fruit in the entry level housing.
