I have aggressively been looking at houses since February of 2023 actually touring the houses talking to real estate agents, putting offers, researching financing,working with loan officers and so on. 

@Najeh Davenport  Start with the local zoning office. 

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.

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). 

Having either tenants or a business lined up, that needs office space anyways, is the "office hack" (see what I did there? 

The bottom floor is approved for commercial business and has the main vault, some marble flooring, and a back room office and restroom.

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.  

Although I won't have time for lunch or dinner on the 10th, I am available for coffee at The Athletic Club of Columbus or at my office on Parsons Avenue.

I started out with a few 1-4 units with their residential loan officers and now that I’ve grown some, my last 3 deals have been 5-10 units with their commercial loan officer.

I respect your many years of experience Jay but want to bring some perspective from the other side of the table.In a corporate office which is running 10, 20 or even 50 projects at once (depending on the firm size), what is the benefit for the Architect to drop their other projects to jump on yours quicker?
