And is mileage looking for additional rentals and flips in markets you currently own properties in, deductible, if you operate out of your home office? 

I own a commercial building where I use half of the building for my team and the other half is office spaces rented to businesses.

If this was me, I would leverage my equity into a commercial office/retail/industrial multi-unit or multi-family property.

He rented the stores for office use, like a travel agency, and the other to a video store, when a barber shop of many years closed up.

@Najeh Davenport  Start with the local zoning office. 

If you strip it down too much, you can only earn a referral fee but not actually do any transactions.You have to talk to a few offices and see what they can do for you as an investor.

Reach out to the Marcus & Millichap offices in Columbus/Cleveland and have one of the MMCC commercial mortgage brokers produce a few quotes for you.If you don't have the time to research contact info / programs for 25-50 different lenders and make the calls/emails necessary to obtain optimal financing, hire a broker.

We do Urgent cares all over the county and get pitched med office spaces all the time, and none fit our profile for visibility, for our use at least, only because we follow a more "retail" modeled approach to site selection, given the business type.  

Xo,Michael  here is how they end.. these guys came into my office in 2011 looking for me to fund their buy and rehab ( as that is my day job and I have been doing it in INdy since 2004 https://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2016/lr23451.htm    same thing buy hood rats sell them that they are cash flow .. guarantee rents.. tell all sorts of marketing tails.. right now I have to agree with you.. people with vacant houses are getting money paid to them.. they sit in another state unaware of the danger that their asset is in..

As we have 100+ year old trees on the property, as well as a pond and year round stream, I think it could also be used for a tiny-home or tiny-office (commercial) community, which would allow me to maintain control of my property long term and providing recurring revenue to me (my company).
