@Joshua Dorkin, @Brandon Turner, @Dave Van Horn, @Mindy Jensen,  and whoever else at BP is involved in publishing -- Amazon.com offers a fantastic service called WhisperSync that coordinates the Kindle ebook with the Audible audio edition of the same book. 

Welcome @Robb Chamberlain,It's good to see more locals getting involved in real estate investing.

Its always worth getting a yearly service contract to have the systems cleaned in spring and fall. 

Turnkey can be a very good way to get started for an investor with little time to be more involved. 

Once they abate any lead they find, they need to clean the ENTIRE building in order to provide a clean air cert.

Yes, there plenty of risks, bur before you even look at the risk involved, you will need to see if your house is zoned for a business such as a day care.This could be a problem in of itself...Chris

While I've been involved in multifamily buildings in the past, I'm new to the commercial office/retail space, but am currently looking to purchase a smaller 5-unit property in town.While it's currently fully occupied, I'm always thinking ahead.

I get pretty involved myself as I know no one is going to care as much about my properties as I do. 

Investing involves risks and rewards – and usually the higher the risk, the greater the potential for significant gains and losses of invested equity.

If I involved some of those other people's money, how do I even begin to structure a deal like that?
