The attraction to point breeze is only going to improve in my opinion with OCF Realty's plans to build 40+ townhouses, 20+ apartments, retail store frontage and Dock st brewery setting up camp on Washington ave on the border of  Graduate Hospital and Point breeze. 

It's in the BP book store here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

i.e. cafe, lounge area, art gallery space, co-working creative space.I would first like to:1) Build up a larger client base for my brand online and see the the need for a brick and mortar location2) Evaluate the trend of brick and mortar retail / coworking space going forward3) Store up enough cash reserve to accommodate the increase operating expense tied with a commercial retail lease4) Gain commercial residential experience which in my opinion has less risk of vacancy. 

There are other calculators out there, but this is the only one I use. https://jakeandgino.mykajabi.com/store/zdt9X8o2I'm not sure what market you're in, but you're looking at a 15 unit for 120k/door.  

I've been using the big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes.

Lowes is starting to shut down underperforming stores, so well, the one's who are LAZY (or incompetent like the one you are using) like one of them I pass up, probably will shut down as I and other investors or contractor's go 20 miles down the road.Next prepay all of your materials in batches since the list expires quickly. 

Did you have enough money this month to buy beer cigarettes lotto tickets or convenience store items ?

Here's an excerpt from my lease that clearly states I am allowed to address similar situations:   (i) Yards, patios, balconies, vestibules, hallways, and entrances may not be used to store belongings or to dry clothes.

The second unit just needs kitchen cabinets/sink/toilets to be ready and all material is nearly stored in the unit.

Sheets of 7/16" OSB around here have been around $17, and then you have removal, disposal, installation and quite possibly a trip to the store.
