I’m currently reading books, learning about markets, and gaining a great deal of knowledge in the property investment “game”.

Are you knowledgeable about the rental laws in your area or do you have an agent that can help you with that?

I have one in mind, but before I go and speak to them, any info from knowledgeable professionals/landlords is welcomed.

In most cases, new retail leases come with some amount of concessions from the Landlord which primarily consist of a Free Rent Period to allow the new Tenant to build out their space and a Tenant Improvement Allowance which is a pre-negotiated amount of money that the Landlord contributes to the Tenant to assist with the cost of the build out of the space. a Free rent period can be anywhere form 1 month to 1 year (or more) and a Tenant Improvement Allowance could be $5.00 per square foot or $50.00 per square foot (and in some cases a LOT more).

We used that tax free $$$ and put a lot more down on our current primary.

A property manager can handle tenant interactions, maintenance issues, and local legalities, providing peace of mind and freeing up your time.
