For example, if they add a cooking or alcohol aspect to the salon, that could cause your insurance rates to incease.

High gas prices, high interest rates, high food prices and now a slumping housing market.

In St Pete specifically they’re working on rent control laws and also the amount of new inventory once all the condos come to market is another concern.My property is in uptown but it’s one the classic built in “1925” deals that are all over St Pete Lots of food for thought. 

Regarding fridge bad food - that’s what renters insurance is for.

It's also an incredibly diverse and sprawling MSA so asking where to find a "good" investment here is like asking where to find the best food: There are going to be a lot of different answers.

It doesn't take me any more time to cook more ribs or chicken for tenants. 

This is a few days old, but it just got to me now, and I thought Id pass it along.Bloodbath: Mortgage industry keeps cutting staff.So many layoffs and closings...points to some hard times ahead.I wonder how long before things get good again.Note: If any of you guys and gals effected by this need some QUICK help, try visiting a food bank.Some of them have fresh from the farm produce to hand out daily (because people care).Some have pet food too--call to find out (your area may have a Pet Food Bank too).And then there is always temp work (well not always, buy a lot of the time) because a little money goes a long ways when your hurting for it.And look for Rental Assistance online.

@Scott Mac thank you for the input and the food for thought.

Now you are cooking with gas, as they say here in Wisconsin.

You could lease the land out to food trucks, mobile homes, RV's.
