REI does interest me and has been on my mind for years and now I want to finally get into it for real. 

We are both hard workers/high energy (not necessarily incredibly handy) and wouldn't mind doing the lion's share of the work by ourselves.

@Shawn Kostoff, I’m reaching out to the city for any additional fees or implications but what else might you have in mind?

I could probably fit about 6-10 desks in a particular location I am interested in.I have not reached out to the owner to find out if this is ok to do, I simply do not need the space but wouldn't mind renting out extra desks to others which would also happen to be in the same field as me.Am I even allowed to do this?

Sometimes buyers are required  to pay that on top of the sales price, so thats something to keep in mind..Good luck!

Competitive Market Analyses, different types of historical sales data, agent notes are the ones that come to mind.

I have some in mind but wanted to see if anyone else has had any luck.

millennials are just starting to have kids and are going to get to an age where they care about their kids schools etc and it will be far too costly in the city to sustain.so you read it here, mark it down, we are going to see a shift ya the idea that Millennials are going to be lifelong renters in my mind wont come to pass.. 

Some questions come to mind such as how much of their financial aid is going to pay for their classes and books, and how much is left over for living expenses? 

Do you mind being leveraged and using debt?
