The overall character of the area is definitely a large factor as it will determine the type of tenants living there/demographics: Yoga/Orange Theory studios, Whole Foods, Starbucks, micro breweries, wine and cheese shops, public parks, bike paths, green spaces, public transportation, good schools, nice restaurants, cranes/new construction, low crime rate, high prices all indicate a Class A area whereas boarded up buildings, lots of Payday lenders/check cashing stores, dollar stores, fast food, liquor stores, homeless shelters, army recruiting centers, addiction recovery centers, industrial areas, dumps, shoes hanging from power lines, junked cars lining the streets, high crime, blight, abandoned buildings, urban decay, burnt out buildings, low prices, low rent, etc. would indicate a Class D area.It's really pretty subjective though, I'm not sure there are universally accepted definitions but rather just people's opinions.

Fancy coffee shops, Yoga, dog cafes, artesian crafts are moving in so that’s a good sign.

In total, I would like to own 3 Multi-Family properties before purchasing a mixed use property in which I would like to use as a Physical Therapy cash practice space for outpatient orthopedics (I am a Physical Therapist as well).

There are lots of books and techniques, such as meditation, breathing, self-affirmations, therapy, etc.

Those were free (aside from the therapy in 20 years).

They related that he is currently under therapy and his therapist has recommended that an emotional support animal may be helpful.

So, if that pet is suddenly a therapy animal, the rent amount is still the rent amount.

He said "well actually I am at physical therapy, but make it quick"I said " I can call back later if that would work better" " no no go ahead and ask your questions" So I fired off a few questions which led to roughly 5+ minutes of casual talk.
