I'm also invested in many rentals and I currently am working in the Grimsby area with another investor it's only about a 20 minute drive from my place and I learn the area quite well be happy to sit down for coffee with you anytime to talk shop.

If that is confusing, would a 2,500 square foot lot zoned B3-2 (community shopping district) be restricted to one ground floor commercial space and one upper floor residential unit, or could a developer build two residential units?

I'm starting to shop around to see if I can find a comparable policy at a better price, and came across NuVantage.

Currently house hacking with a mobile home/aprtment in the shop.

So if you come across a bank that has one...then keep shopping! 

However, we overbuilt during boom times and there are some half-vacant shopping centers, but the school district is a huge draw for anyone with children.

There is agentsonline.net but that is for more residential agents.Many times commercial brokers and agents converse over the phone looking for deals, doing deals together, attending conferences together to make connections.When I say asset classes and specialize I belong to ICSC ( International Council of Shopping Centers).

I grew up going to the Hulen mall and these days do my shopping at Trader Joe's on Hulen.  

After some research, I ended up with a home in sugar house which is close to shopping center and restaurants.

Then shop them around and go with who is best for you.
