All in an effort to increase traffic and keep this commercial tenant in business

I just wanna get out of the 9-5 and control my time again.

Downside is: Onerous to keep DTI in control and to keep enough cash for reserves.Non-qm loans.

Retail centers typically have higher rents you have to pay versus regular office because you are usually paying  for street frontage and higher traffic levels with better sight lines from the road.If you are buying a building you might look into an SBA loan if you will be occupying 50% of the space or greater.As far as owning you need to evaluate the space where you are currently at.

Someone smarter than me can explain how to exit off 540E onto Holly Springs Rd. going north, by turning into the oncoming traffic.

The current Deed specifies what interest the deceased parent had, and can control what happens to that parent's interest when he/she dies.   

@Jordan Berry, I typically dont see the traffic I would have though needed to be there to make that kind of money at a laundromat.

But you can't control how people live.This has ignited a question in me for @James Wise @Nathan G.

I contemplated the idea of just changing the design concept to have it be attached to the main home, but even in that scenario, the explicit CCR's against even renting one room seemed too controlling to be sane, considering that if this worked as we wanted, there were like 200 other nearly identical situations with lots with homes in that neighborhood that we would have just wanted to rinse and repeat that strategy.

Oregon has layers of LL/tenant law including statewide rent control, city ordinances, changes to rental screening and security deposits, etc.
