Then the city and I did not see eye to eye.

If you just look at the City of Toronto itself (3 million of the 7+ million Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area) it has, within it, dozens of distinct "markets." 

I have invested in properties in California, Chicago, New York City and Columbus Ohio.

I have been researching some data / cities for OOS and have tons of ideas. 

I live in MN in a city of roughly 90K people. 

The property is located near Main Street and the local college campus... pretty good location for this small town.POPULATION:14,096UP 6% SINCE 2000AVERAGE INCOME:$59,823 PER YEARAVERAGE AGE:33 YEARSGENDER:50% MALE50% FEMALEHOUSEHOLDS:5,09936% WITH CHILDRENAVERAGE VALUE:$141,509OCCUPANCY:70% OWNED30% RENTED13% VACANTAVG.

If zoning doesn't permit business leases, you can always have a real estate lawyer draft up a suitable NNN Residential Lease with Sublet Options... you just have to make sure it's worded plainly and with enough residential language to keep the city happy should they come knockin. :-)

Hi EveryoneThought I would post a recent sold property on same Street, and similar productThis is a hot market for flippinghttps://www.trulia.com/p/mi/detroit/18601-cherryla...

Is it feet, yards, cubits (LOL) city blocks, water-meters, utility poles, sewer lines, or just plain up to the lender?

@Natalie KraftMichigan is a different animal but we only have a limited amount of "billboard" permits and they are all taken so I think you need to figure out what that would entail from the city or state, not the billboard company.
