There were so many calls to the police that the city ended up boarding up several units.

But, currently looking around the Saint Cloud area where I could do room rentals for college students or into the twin cities area, but the property insurance and taxes are a lot higher there. 

Unfortunately, I don't think it's realistic that you will find a generic commercial lease online that checks all the compliance boxes for your state, city, and county.There are limited service property managers that will do retail tenant placement (rather than full property management, which it seems like would be overkill for this one commercial unit you manage), and this would be included as part of that basket of services.You could also hire a lawyer, but I think that property management company will be more cost effective. 

I live in Miami, I took advice from some of you knowledgeable gurus and decided not to invest out of state but instead to invest in more affordable cities in Florida.

@Johnny Jay - you can also add city code violations to your list.  

Second In-N-Out Burger Coming to the Strip: The popular burger chain, In-N-Out, is opening a second location on the Las Vegas Strip at the new BLVD development, across from City Center.

The good news is that in cities like Berkeley with aggressive rent control, there is always a shortage of available rental units (the rent board bureacrats constantly find ways to perpetuate the housing shortage upon which their jobs depend).

I'm living in Jersey City.

If you were to purchase a $400K property in either of these cities today, applying the 3.5% growth rate, that same property would be valued at around $566,000 by 2034.

It baffles me because locals are soo used to this wonderful city right beneath them that they pass up on opportunities!
