I don't have specific targets in that area yet because I am still like a kid in a candy store with all the options.

Any of the books by  J Scott, his book on flipping and estimating costs is available here under the store tab.

The author lives in Cali and did all his flips and rehab/hold investments out of state without ever stepping foot in the properties: https://www.biggerpockets.com/store/long-distance-...I hope this help and don't hesitate to ask questions!

They usually have better prices than the home improvement stores. 

Zachary,In our area, some Insurance companies have issues with Habitational (Apartment) exposure when commercial is a Liquor store, Bar, or Restaurant.  

I've noticed that on places like mobile home park store that there are a lot of parks for sale in Indiana.

My team and I are looking to get our second property under contract and it's a mixed use building- Store front w/ residential apartment up top, and two single family homes attached- very strange...Here's what I know before visiting the property:- It's downtown in a very mall city with a historic board- Separate meters for electric- One bill for sewer and well (I'm assuming it's county sewer but will investigate further to ensure not a septic)- I'm going to ask for the leases and ask the renters what they're paying for rent.As a mixed use building I'm assuming I'd need to dig into the store fronts financials to ensure they're capable to afford the property.

I normally get a list of everything I need for a house, put it on a Home Depot order, and I work with the store manager (not the bid room) and they normally give me 25-30% off.

The downtown has over 500 empty buildings, there is buzz that the Jacksonville Jaguars owner is going to redevelop 13 acres along the waterfront with a convention center, hotels, and more destination stores and restaurants.

Any large items left behind will need to be handled according to your states guidelines for abandoned property. this may or may not require you to store it for a period of time before throwing it away.
