It comes with a bonus unit, and a church!

Your colleges in Abilene are all church related.

I have a small retail center, 4 stores about 1800 sq ft, in Falls Church.

Talking with neighbors, church members, friends, family, Facebook acquaintances...

Do your own homework, do demographic studies on the social anchors, on the job industry in the area, on schools, even churches in the area...

My place is within 35 minutes of Church Street, and 30 to BTV, so I get UVM graduations, weddings and the rest of all that Chittenden County activity (while still near skiing) pumping up bookings and prices a bit I'm sure.

I currently work as Technical Arts Director for a local church.

I started by asking friends and church members if they knew anyone that I could possibly get the money from, and I got a lot of leads.

I have seen big church's move in and take over those spaces.. but that does not really help the people living there with their daily needs. 

@Tami Brooks  if that's the case the lots have Zero value they only have value to a neighbor to add to their holdings.I just went through that in sacarmento... it killed me but I had an extra lot on a rehab I did I toyed with putting a MH on it.. but building it out the homes sell for less than replacement cost ... so land has zero value.I sold the lot on terms to the only person who would see value and that is the folks I sold my rehabbed home to.. they paid me 15k and I had to finance it long term.. but I got the lot with zero cost as I made profit on the rehab .. so not the end of the world but long story short lots in areas with under 100k housing have zero value.think of much of the mid west and any other areas of the country were homes sell for under 100k in those markets the ONLY one who buys vacant lots are habitat for humans ,, churchs, or if some one is doing a land assemblage for a new bigger redevelopment.
