But in Texas you are welcome to dig your own holes (literally and figuratively).

Pull the trigger but only if you, literally, come across the deal of the century.

I keep wondering if people's homes in California are going to get so expensive that they literally can just sell them and retire in the midwest. 

Originally posted by @Brandon McLean:I want to start paying all our regular ongoing bills and utilities with money straight from the LLC rental income....cell phones (we use our phones for mostly work anyway), electric bill, internet, water, etc etc....Unless you literally work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - you are asking for some serious trouble. 

The cigarettes permanently stained / penetrated literally everything.

PS I was faced with this same dilemma in 1991 in Palo Alto  keep my house and accept 300 negative.. that had limited equity.. and because we were in an economic trough I got to buy up in the Napa valley a distressed property by doing an assumption for literally 5k down LOL  that was a home run.. but that house that I decided I could not hack the 300 negative and sold for a little under 500k within 7 years was worth 1 million and today its worth 3 million..

They are both on separate utilities as well - which will allow me to cash flow like CRAZY.It is zoned as multi-family.There are literally zero comps within 2 or 3 miles of this property and I've never seen anything quite like it around here (Central PA / Hershey / Harrisburg). 

I went to YouTube again, and figured out how to make a cell where I typed in a percent and that automatically changed the end.It literally started there.

Been an owner for 4-5 years, learned quite a few things already, among which is that a commercial kitchen is not something to be made or modified lightly - it has to be properly designed and properly made in order to function well.So I have this retail store of about 1100 sqft that someone wants to take for a small coffee shop with the ability to bake.My question is where do I start searching for someone to design/compute small walk-in cooler, grease trap, vent-a-hood, stove and HVAC on top of that so all this could become useable without anyone getting burned.From my past experience I have local mexican crews who can do any and all of the listed things and they'd do them relatively well except they won;t ever be designed to actually work well together.On the other end of the spectrum I've worked with american general contractors and they tend to cost 2-3 times the Mexican crews and, at least in my case, ended up delivering about same end result (in all fairness it was only kitchen remodeling, not design from ground up; but statement stands valid and I was able to later do almost the same at literally third of the cost).Your expertise is appreciated.

I also want to have influence of how it gets developed since it is literally right next door to my home.
