I was able to fill each space with photographers, hair salon, insurance agent, recording studio, background check company, cpa, medical massage and a 3000 sq ft floor to a non-profit dance studio.I often bring the group together for happy hours on my dime, networking meetings etc.  

I'm also in Georgia and a newbie. :) If you aren't listening to the podcasts yet, they're amazing!

That said, the market will bare what it will bare, and a owner can sell for whatever they want.

This is where you name it for example:  "123 Main St LLP"   This provides good asset protection and a bit of privacy.  

(Eventually I would want to Invest in all types of real estate) I also have very little work background having worked at a Jack in the Box for a year and a golf course for a year.

I am an investor and a broker so see both sides of it.Example:Someone wants to buy a small retail strip center with mom and pop tenants for 1,500,000.

Was it broken and a nuisance?

I'm living in a building in lockport New York area where there are two apartment units in the upstairs area and a commercial dining area in the bottom.

Understanding the difference between an "expense and a cost" is critical, and the difference between "getting there first, and getting what's left".

There is not much work that needs to be done, just a little dry wall, paint and a backed up sink in the basement.
