I am a self employed Licensed Massage Therapist and Health Coach.

This special zoning means I can only rent to warehouses, manufacturing and certain types of service businesses, such as carpet & rug cleaning establishments, massage therapist offices, music studios etc.

The DR...your wife...the ocean...the sand...your wife...the drinks with little umbrellas...massages on the beach...your wife...........

Just like a couple of wholesale groups who regularly "massage" comps, under sell required repairs, and over estimate rental rates to support offer prices and push junk as "deals".

. $80,000 into exterior and landscaping and around $100,000 in interior renovations.Occupied the upstairs and leased out the downstairs to a massage practice.

My current thoughts:Insulate exterior walls with basalt stonewool, like RockwoolUse cement backer board behind the showerUse DensArmor Plus Drywall in the bathroom because the gypsum is wrapped in fiberglass mats and should prevent moldEncase the whole bathroom in Schluter Kerdi Water membraneStill deciding between tiling the shower, or using an acrylic shower enclosure.This is probably overkill, but I'd rather have a belt and suspenders on, than find out I need to remodel a bathroom again in 5-6 years.I'm in Oakland, CA, in the Fruitvale.

Oddly enough permanent makeup, massage therapy, CPAs, and a few other businesses are often clumped in with Dental offices.Would having an Ortho company in a neighboring space be a boon for your business or a detractor?

I like Sherwin Williams Proclassic alkyd acrylic, personally.

I would never stay in a hotel again except for a couple things.....1) There are no STRs in the area where I want to stay 2) The hotel may have a pool/spa when I'm traveling to a hot area 3) I want a luxury resort type of stay with swim up bars, massages, etc...I travel almost monthly and I find that STRs are still less expensive than hotels.....getting closer to even , but still less expensive...but you still get so much more....a kitchen for sure, close private parking, maybe a yard....as more people realize the inherent advantages of STRs, I think they will become even more popular.....

Massage parlor vs massage therapist?
