Hello team,We are bumping into a property in San Bernardo county (CA) that can be explored commercially.  The city already made this as a general commercial zone. I would like to talk to some one who has some experien...

Our city sets appointments with the planners every Monday where you can take your idea to them and they can tell you in general what is allowed, required, some general costs, etc.

Or you could call and ask to speak with a planner.

i am looking in to older historic buildings which i can create one or two lofts from and potential commercial use on bottom.I would like to add, that I am educated as a city planner, and one of my main motives is to help create more walkable/vibrant communities, while profit is a reason i am more interested in creating great communities.

Pull the plot plan, look at all the permits that have been pulled, confirm the zoning and talk to one of the city planners about the property and the neighborhood.

I would run this by a certified financial planner.

Written for estate planners and attorneys.

My wife being the top financial planner she is, waited until the last few days of that 6 month period before making the payment.

I also beleive God gave us all  different personalities....we can't all be extremely outgoing, some need to be the deep thinkers and planners, etc....so knowing my strengths and weaknesses I just think I 'll go with my strengths and compensate with help from others on my weaknesses.

House hacking at its finest : )6.Just FYI- Long Beach ranked 8th nationally among the 100 largest US cities in month-to-month average rent increases and y-o-y from 2016 to 2017 with a 7.8% increaseI’ve contacted multiple planners from building and safety and have gotten the green light that a rear unit can be added as long as it passes through historical commission (yes I know this can be a headache) and as long as it meets parking requirements.I currently have a short and sweet background in real estate appraisal for tax purposes but not so much for real world investing that have real ramifications.
