So if you were in my position, how would you use creative financing to build up to 10 properties in the next 3 years and not sell stock or touch retirement? 

Purchase price: $775,000 Cash invested: $250,000 Great deal on a property people were afraid of.

Find a property in my home market and buy and hold it. 

I've owned my property for nearly a year and a half, and obtaining zoning and building permits has been a nightmare.

I actually worked with a client in Phoenix not too long ago who was in a similar boat...trying to transfer their loan to a buyer looking to use the property as a primary residence.

I want to buy him out because the property has a 3% mortgage rate, has gained 100k in equity the last 4 years and cash flows 1k a month.

Demand, quality of tenants, etc.According to my analysis should give a 12% CoC return but this is my first commercial property purchase just like some insight or if I should pursue other forms of commercial real estate. 

This creates a lot of buzz around the property and has everyone and their grandmothers talking about it!

That's the problem because you have no ultimate control of your property and it's a sign that you're treated second class compared to the locals .

It doesn't reflect well on your property, and it may damage the fence.
