@James Wise regarding price, I'm going to start with a rubric used to price billboards (traffic count, competition, visibility, my own online subscriber base, etc.) and then think about the potential growth over the years.

Both of these areas are VERY difficult for me to explore given that I have a full-time job right now and they are in the opposite direction (plus DC traffic is no fun).

In these instances you may want to drive offline traffic online via more traditional methods.

I understand the commute is getting tougher and tougher because of traffic volume.

We'll stick to using it in the high traffic common areas.

I guess I'm just being impatient.

Traffic is light, and for the most part people that work weekends will be at work and people that are off/don't work will still be in bed/inside. 

I am too impatient to buy and hold.

I found the deal on the mls for 369,900 at the time that was higher then all the other areas i looked at, and the cash flow was lower, but i knew that this area had more traffic and vitalization then other areas and to top it off no hoa.When i took the building over it was being self managed by the landlord and some of the units needed work. so i knew that i was going to be able to add value.

I like properties in C neighborhoods next to elementary schools, for example, but not ones next to high schools and the foot traffic that comes with that.
