Bought a heat gun from Harbor freight ($10) and wife spent evenings removing multiple layers of stick-on linoleum while I use a hammer to break up a brick wall to make space for a new patio.

Would love to hear about your investments and chat about moving into the rental space.

I have been investing in residential RE since 2010 and have bought and sold RE within that time frame, but it's all in residential space.

If you are taking a space in a center with multiple vacancies, or even taking a space that has been sitting vacant for some time, I would imagine you have a strong hand in the negotiation.Curious: are you working with a broker that represents you or are you negotiating directly with the landlord/landlord rep?

BiggerPockets is such a great space to learn about real estate investing but we have focused our efforts on providing helpful information and useful content in relevant forums, rather than promotion. 

I am inclined towards investing in Retails spaces.I am new to this space and would love to get pointers on how to get started, how to find RE agents, any gotchas or considerations for new investors.

I'm new in the space and would love to connect with anyone with wholesale experience in the bay area, or CA in general. 

There's also a question for us about whether we'd derive more tax benefit from investing in a mixed use owner/user property which was partly occupied by our LLP business, or whether it would be more beneficial to simply acquire an investment property that we did not use for our LLP business at all, since it seems that we could generate more income that way and could use that income to help pay for office space elsewhere.So we really would appreciate some input on some of these concepts rather than being sold an investment into someone else's project.

I think, generally speaking, this is one of the bigger reasons NOT to build an ADU in your backyard simply because you have the space: there aren't really any simple ways to finance the building costs.
