The Crossroads area has been super lit lately and mixed use buildings are certainly on point now. 

It's been mixed.

Looking at mixing in owner finance into our rental portfolio and would like to find a local company.

There were ongoing problems with the house, you are getting tired of dealing with this house, some bad luck and a mix of reasonable and unreasonable requests.Be blunt with them. 

It’s largely residential focused just because that’s the background of most of the members (small residential landlords).But there’s some commercial background/experience as well, and at least once a year there’s a main speaker who’s commercial oriented.Outside of RIREIG I know there’s also an IREM chapter for Rhode Island (iremri.org) and I believe they even have a podcast so that’s definitely something to check out.There’s a commercial offshoot of the RI MLS called RICIE (Rhode Island Commercial information Exchange) which was sort of the RI MLS answer to Loopnet but it’s had mixed success since a lot of the residential agents seem to dislike that MLS forces them to pay for a separate system when the residential and commercial system used to be the same.The RI association of Realtors (RIAR) does have classes throughout the year though so if no one else chimes in with more resources here, one thing you could do is attend some of the commercial oriented classes (there’s a slight upcharge for non agents but they are open to the public) and network with the speakers and attendees in this event classes.

The important thing is to choose a mix that gives you the right return / risk mix.

Mixing business and personal if often trouble.

@Bennett SmootMy strategy is a mix of 15 & 30 year loans.

A have a 2 acre parcel that is zoned MSF, wanting to re zone it commercial, mixed use or industrial.

Since all of the data should mix together to form your final analysis, it's a valuable metric that helps one understand the market.
