So you might want to start with the attorney and see if he has a lease he already knows and likes.One thing for sure, put the prohibition on living in the space in bold type with a nice little initial block next to it for the tenant to initial so the tenant cannot come back and say it was intended to be a live/work space.

So from funding balt city row houses to loudoun county :)Yeah it’s funny even on a personal level I lived in D.C. last year and the crime while I was never a victim there were probably at least a half dozen shootings within a few blocks a my apartment (which was literally across from where the nats play, a good part of town) and literally so many car jackings I lost count, eventually at the end of the year I was like I’m not paying 3k a month to have constant shootings next door, I’ve ended up for a variety of reasons spending at town of time on the eastern shore, and I kind of realized this is walkable & safe & affordable, I kind of think small towns are the future.  

It was in the area where STRs were once allowed and less than a block from the water.

Landlocked property has an easement over a 1/4-acre ell in the neighboring property that otherwise blocks the property from the road and is largely (desirably, for privacy/noise) covered in trees. 

Every meeting you attend and every person you meet will be another building block in your success story.

Depends on where you invest in the City of Detroit.Zip codes are hard to use to identify where to invest.Block-by-block is the best way, but almost impossible for OOS investors.That's why we use city Neighborhoods!

the new kid on the block but not for long :) 

If you are not familiar with the area (selecting a location because property is cheaper than your home base), often that great deal might be 10 blocks in the wrong direction and you get burned. 

Only in the last 3-4 months has he said he's seen some light at the end of the tunnel and they're starting to see minor insurance premium relief on properties, but it's for the best of the best assets (New construction, concrete block, 250+ units, etc).
