I lend as a 2nd lien holder (in Florida mainly) because the returns are huge but I am comfortable with high risk as well. 

Each of them sought the property for their primary purpose of worship/office/etc, and then sought out additional uses as well - nursery school, food bank, place of worship for a Jewish congregation (Saturday versus Sunday), auxiliary space for the local library that needed additional educational space, counseling, etc.There is merit to your concept, but many factors come into consideration:  zoning, parking, how easy it is to "convert" space, etc. 

I feel Ike they pivoted quite a bit in the last few years since city and subsequent county license requirements spurred an STR plateau and the motivations are a bit deeper and multi-purposed now.Take parallel economies, such as Uber/Lyft, the ONLY two TNC license holders in the state and each year pay an excise tax of a few hundred thousand a piece, if not more (just for the permit, not including the whats taken from drivers).

Hey @Fadela Zaoui - if its a court ordered sale... unlikely sellers would entertain seller financing, but the answer's always no unless you ask :) I recommend working with your broker to figure out what the sellers really want - sounds like one of the sellers wants to cash out so they may not be the person that wants to do seller financing BUT the other seller may be open to it.You could also potentially look at a joint venture option where you just buy out the seller that wishes to sell her portion, and partner up with the other equity holder who now gets to retain their piece of the pie. 

Limit the fast food. 

This is why it is important to make sure your day to day operations are run properly and every vendor who performs work at your property and /or on behalf of you is properly insured and you are added as additional insured under their policy (not merely a certificate holder). 

I feel having a restaurant tenant will help to fill out the rest of the space pretty quickly if the food is good.Here is a link to the property.

Generally a quiet title is probably the course of action to clear the other named title holder.

I would like to obtain some land and start growing my own food.

Naming preferred states to invest in is as broad as saying "I want food for dinner."
