I absolutely would encourage her to do that but she should go find a storefront to rent.

If you don’t have money set aside in case things go wrong, then I wouldn’t encourage you to use private money until you are at a place financially where you could come in and buy out the private investor if things went wrong.

I would encourage the LOCALS to concentrate on the more desirable areas like San Juan, and start buying your "buy and holds" now. 

@David Clinton III thank you for the encouragement and the great ideas with fencing, access, logo, etc.  

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. 

@Aziz RajiThank you for the warm welcome and encouragement.

You'd think if the city of Oakland wants to encourage the development of affordable housing, they wouldn't want to prevent small multifamily properties (that account for a lot of the housing stock here) from getting the incentives larger developers do. 

I am encouraged by the Amazon being built presently.
