How do you shop for a good lender without taking all the dings on your credit report and thus decreasing your score and getting higher interest rates because of it.

Now shopping for a trail camera (actually 2). 

They've already comparison-shopped and have it narrowed down.I can't recommend HomeAway highly enough.

Black shutters are on my shopping list and I'm hoping to put them on next week.

The first floor is a body shop/used car lot and the second floor is a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment.

LOLSee if you can find a real commercial brokerage as Joel suggested.If you want classroom study, see what you can find at a local college or university on the subject and stay away from gurus.And, guess that also means what you call "commercial" a 6 plex or a shopping mall, maybe an industrial complex on 20 acres?

Control the damage, and make it one stop shopping for the tenants.

Same with pools, equestrian facilities, and of course, proximity to great schools, shopping, restaurants, etc.After the physical items comes the paperwork stuff like watching out for very long DOMs ( days on market) and sudden rise in supply or drop in demand.

Close to Germantown Ave it's also walkable and lots of little businesses, coffee shops, etc. 

Make sure you shop around until you find 1-2 that work best for you.
