Before getting into commercial real estate about 15 years ago I was in the food business in all facets so know it well.

These are more of rhetorical questions to give you food for thought so to speak.

But if you sit down at a restaurant the food you are served could be poisoned by a careless chef. 

You could learn marketable skills that can put a roof over your head and food on your table.

When I search there are some commercial NNN properties which are around or over $1MM with corporate guaranteed leases for atleast 10 years and goes up to 20 years (like Fast food Restaurant chains, Banks, medical offices etc).

Food for thought.

Some of these things I have known about and have been dealing with,  a few of the others have just come to light this week, thanks to an angry ex-wife.I have done almost daily inspections, filed comply of vacate letters, sent text after text, and I'm just hoping for a smooth transition without having to evict.  

I analyze deals daily and have access to residential and commercial filters on the MLS.

You'll need to check with your municipalitySome additional food for thought:Lot splits in my area take a lot of time, patience and moneyYou can finance the construction of an owner-occupied 2-4 units with an FHA loan for as little as 3.5% down but the requirements are kind of onerous. 

My background is in ecological design, which you can find out more about in my profile, but in short it means I design and help create abundant edible landscapes that not only grow healthy food, but also enhance the ecology by purifying water, providing habitat for wildlife, and actually sequestering Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in soil and plants.I have much gratitude to the creators of this space for creating something that is truly inspiring and brings people together.
