I am not usually the smartest person in the room but I like listening to them and paying attention to their advice.

Hello Friends, for about $400k if a person acted fast, for off market sale, could have 90,000 sf commercial building in fort Dodge ia. 

I have seen it in Arlington....one place super unusual, like almost two full houses on a lot that really should support only 1.I think your first step is to go in person to Planning and Zoning office...with your information and idea of what you want to do and see if they give you a warm or cold reception. 

Again assuming my partner is handling everything else? 

For example, if your property is owned by an LLC meant to protect your personal assets that could become moot because you are purposefully and knowingly choosing to operate in an illegal manner.

I also never signed rental agreements personally. 

You should be getting more personal, not less personal.

This Beats it all and I sleep like a baby , no stress or worries. best leads, the best technology, or peer to peer access, they handle it all as a real financial / peer partner .

🤷‍♂️Love this post and what Scotty posted.Congrats on your success thus far.As much as I love real estate and business it never is passive and never will be totally passive unfortunately.There is always a risk component involved and a reliance on someone.There will always be that gut wrenching phone call that makes the stomach turn.It all come's down to how much is enough for someone to live a happy life.I unofficially retired at 28 and am back chasing now at 36.Parents and family are getting older and have a huge will and in a way pressure to retire my old man.A beautiful person and father.I've checked off mum and uncle from the list hahaFew more to go lolI am and always will be a "real estate guy" per se but a few years ago I asked myself this question:"How can I get the highest possible return, with the least amount of risk, without doing any work and without involving anyone else?"

While rental demand is going down, there continue to be more people purchasing properties for personal use in turn causing there to be an overall shortage of rental units available in season.
