There is a community center next door to me and during a discussion with the director, he said to me that if I ever want to sell that the center is very interested in purchasing. 

There is nothing nearby that anyone would want to visit, except that we are only 30 min from the Texas Medical Center and from downtown Houston.  

Figured it's about time to start my own because after about six weeks of Bigger Pockets webinars and research I have a lot of questions.Immediate Goal (within 15 months): Use FHA 203k loan to purchase multi family in an affordable but relatively safe area of the city - Lincoln Square and North Center are ideal but potentially too pricey; willing to look in Avondale, West Irving Park and further south (Logan Square/Bucktown/Wicker Park/Humbolt Park/Pilsen) if it's a safe enough area for a single female to owner occupy.

I am a commercial real estate investor, I currently own and invests strip centers and self storage.

I obtained my Texas Real Estate License in August 2015 but it is still on inactive status.Like most, my interst in real estate centers on the potential for additional income and financial freedom.

Our clients include bix box retailers, banking centers, 6th class cities, apartment communities, etc...We are looking to expand into residential services next year.

I just spotted this in the Washington Post-"DC Housing department will hold free rental law seminar- The DC Department of Housing and Community Development is having a free seminar on District housing and rental laws from 10am to 1pm Saturday at the Housing Resource Center, 1800 Martin Luther King Jr Ave SE.

I personally like retail strip centers better, especially when they have NNN leases. 

As a successful licensed agent, my 15 years of experience works to help home buyers discover where they want to live and the right home based on lifestyle, commute or even proximity to an urban center or to nature.My in depth knowledge of real estate industry and Dallas metro market trends is an added advantage for clients considering a sale of their existing home.

Are you talking helping lease up a 1,000 sq ft retail space and place a tenant or manage a 3 million strip center??
