I have been involved mainly in the commercial real estate development of my community through my role as Chamber of Commerce President.

hello guys,i'm a complete newbie...my father owns a 20,000 sq ft land (we only use 3800 sq ft for a small convenience store & lawn mower shop)....a lot of real estate brokers have come to us to say we should build something in our empty lot because it's just sitting there empty not being USED...so i went to the chamber of commerce, went to the city and talked to couple of designers & surveyors...the problem is I have NO REAL IDEA what i'm doing..what i would want is to USE the land MOST EFFECTIVELY as possible (build a 2 story commercial property to lease out to several commercial or office workers)....what is your advice on DEVELOPING something that will PROFIT?

Along with that, there's been a solid amount of industrial activity, particularly near Riverport and the Bluegrass Commerce Park, due to a strong presence of manufacturing companies in Louisville.

@Melinda Miller In MO there is a Missouri Chamber of commerce benefit plan that you and your husband could join as "group health plan" as long as you can show that you are both actively working in the investing business and that you are a member of one of the Missouri Chamber Federation chamber of commerce groups.
