The shopping center has several businesses including Kroger,  Goddard School, Truist bank, Ozk Bank to name a few..Any advice how to proceed, whom to contact?

The City of San Jose has on their website that new addresses are required but separate meters are optional (link below).https://snapadu.com/blog/electric-panels-upgrades-power-sources-adu/https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/City-of-Oakland.PGE-Joint-Information-Bulletin-METERS-FINAL.pdfhttps://www.sanjoseca.gov/business/development-services-permit-center/accessory-dwelling-units-adus/adu-faqs

@Clayton SilvaYour post has gotten a LOT of traction - because it well written and has a lot of truth to it.By way of example we had two local banks wanting to finance a retail/service center we had recently acquired (this was 3 years ago).  

This presence alone has drawn other logistics and distribution companies to set up shop in the area, solidifying Louisville’s reputation as a key logistics center in the U.S.Moreover, the automotive industry is making waves with Ford’s massive investment in the BlueOval SK Battery Park in nearby Glendale, Kentucky.

As to near medical center for traveling nurses, is 1b1b works better?

This doesn’t occur often, but the deal is so good, just a few of these in the course of your real estate investing career will turbo charge your pathway to large net worth.Since examples can provide clarity, I’ll provide two examplesA number of years ago (7 years) I was approached about purchasing a note from a property owner who sold his retail center and carried back a $500k note, current principal $476,000.  

It feels as if the shift to more of an apartment home is what helps with tenant retention.Having amenities on property, such as dog parks and fitness centers, help with retention, and being close to amenities also helps.I think the same can be said for most smaller multifamily, with having washer dryer hook ups, 2 to 3 beds, at east 1 1/2 baths, if you have some privacy for a yard would be a huge bonus.I really would stay away from pools for small multi families.

Typically when a purchaser buys a center there is roof warranty that transfers to the new buyer.

This 'mentor' suggested that he continue working his crappy day job in a call center all the while being a full time student.

It’s in the center of the house going from the front toward the back about 1/3 length of the house and is about 15 feet long.
