Not to mention its directly next to U Park (stable community) and the new Whole Foods shopping center and potential Purple Line.

People are nice, investments come at a great value, there’s plenty to do around town, traffic is reasonable, the airport is the fastest in the world to get through, and the food is off the charts!! 

One is a store front space that used to be a marine supply store and the other is a workshop/garage.We fully understand that it’s going to be at least a year before we can do anything with the commercial buildings but are planning on cleaning up the parking area in front to rent to a couple of food trucks daily.The property is located less than a mile from the entrance to a very popular state park and the food trucks will be able to capture that traffic during the warmer months.Ideally, one of the food truck operators will decide after a while to grow their business into an actual brick and mortar and we’ll strike up a mutually beneficial deal with them to lease the space.There’s no way to subdivide the property but I’m wondering if there’s any shot of refinancing the house once we’ve done the rehab so as to pull some of that HELOC money out.Another idea is to approach a local bank with the overall plan and see what kind of financing we could get for the entire development project.Thoughts?

(Food for future thought there).   

The other variable is next year being an election year about mid year before people go to the polls, if inflation is still bad specifically food and housing, plus unemployment has gotten worse, and housing gets worse.

Sometimes the law says the birds must have adequate food, water, and shelter - just like for a dog that lives outside. 

Catholic Charities, and other sources of rental assistance; local human service providers; food pantries/meals on wheels, etc.; there are also ageing in place agencies that can provide information and resources that may be helpful to some residents.

We could grab some coffee, drinks, food, whatever you want, all on me of course! 

At least once a year I lose a freezer full of food due to a power outage.

My recommendation is to inspect the property and see if their living conditions are attracting the mice (open food containers, trash on the floor, etc.
