I've heard previously that a lot of commercial brokers don't publicly list their properties.

Unless it's a corporate tenant with a long term proven track record that would mean nothing to me as an investor.The reason is businesses fail everyday.Even if the business has thrived for the last few years they might have been only going out of the home or a small space.Now they are going bigger in space and they may or may not grow as expected and the rent might take them down.They could be down sizing in space and carrying a ton of debt and fixing to go under.So as an investor the track record and seasoning and performance of the lease is critical when doing an income approach.You also have to analyze if rents are dropping in the area.Even if the tenant has been there awhile they might be jumping ship for a lower rate elsewhere and the lease is coming up soon.I think FSBO really isn't going to get you a higher price.The agent bringing a buyer will now have to do 2 jobs with the buyer and the seller for one fee.Also the buyer will see you are saving on the listing commission compared to other properties listed for sale and will reduce the offer to you.It's a classic mistake of the seller thinking they are saving the listing commission and the buyer reducing in the offer.

Owners work with contractors, management companies, vendors and the public at large; owning land allows you to bring people together to take ideas and create projects that result in everyone being happy.

Rents would be 600-850 depending on sq ft of living space, parking, and finishes.Good luck!

Where are they deriving these numbers from - public records?

Persuasive authority may persuade a judge to rule the same way - but it does not require a judge to rule the same way.And the discussion continues and gets more complicated as we go on.SO - I recommend if you ever have questions about what you can or cannot do - you look for any kind of landlord tenant reference book published by a reputable publisher that is addressed specifically for PA and is a current publication; OR, consult a local attorney knowledgable in these matters....

Mitch, the carpet idea makes sense. i was thinking about that, but we tell them that we dont want people to walk on the carpet, that's why it's not changed. we tell them about it, just like that, that we dont want people to mess it up, and they nod in agreement and say "it makes sense"..it looks good, just has odor to it. maybe i can just change it and put plastic where people can walk on it.there's no space for a dishwasher.. it's not a large kitchen, not much of an option, in my opinion. maybe that's a drawback (but can't be the reason with the singles)here's the link, take a look at the pictures - http://onpointrentals.com/index.php?

The closest thing I have ever gotten to subscribing to a real estate program is my membership at the Chicago Public Library.

Your not sweating your butt off as much, space heater work great either off your electrical or your generator, and contractors suddenly have much more time for you.

Is there a lack of demand for space now where it is?
