It is highly desirable to blend uses into the area thereby protecting the residential character of the area; but not create architectural or traffic conflicts nor permit the commercial development to expand into a regional center of such scope and variety as to attract significant volumes of traffic from outside the neighborhood.Even though I can think of innovative ways to increase the rent and current job market in Bakersfield with plenty of jobs in Oil and gas and agriculture section make this increased rent very doable, but I see that as wishful thinking and when making an offer, I want to be as realistic as possible and I will not hope for any income above fair market value.I have a feeling that most challenging part in real estate is finding the right property at the right price.
