Now I have a great painter and I hire youth from our church or people from CL to do odd jobs.  

They need more than local churches could provide and the State can't help them for another 6 - 9 months.

You will see that S Meridian is a major North-South thoroughfare, and directly across the street from the property is a church & it appears to be some type of retail/industrial/office building, so the area is quasi residential, quasi commercial.  

I've actually taught Financial Peace University at my church, so I'm leaning conservative also...

I want to be able to provide for her and our soon to be family, as well as give back to my church and community and I believe through real estate investing I can.

Yeah, but you know around here, that's like walking into any Baptist church and asking the people there if they've ever heard of a book called The Bible :D .

It sits in between a church that's a staple in the community, and a building that was torn down and rebuilt.

Hi everyone,I live in Hong Kong and just starting investing in Real Estate here.I have a very good lead, let me present it to you all.In a commercial building, the man own a office room high floor, he bought that office for investment for a year ago, he did not touch anything in the property and put it on the market for sale with a large markup.After a 9 months on the market he decided to lower the price, still after 4 month with the lower price no buyers.I then come in and ask the seller if he will consider owner finance on his property as he only have a small loan that is nearly paid.The owner said yes to owner financing and waiting for my offer.I have visited the property and understand why the landlord have not been able to rent or sale, the place was previously owned by a church, the all atmosphere and decoration is very much like a church... so really difficult to rent it as it is for office space or similar.

People at church.
