Rich, any time that you accept funds from another person, and the outcome of that investment is dependent upon your efforts, you have sold a security and compliance with the body of law surrounding the sale of securities is mandatory.  

where are the newest shopping centers and the brand name brick-n-mortar stores coming into the community?

Shop around for pricing and even package deals as I've found many times you will not spend much more to purchase ss but the look is very much worth it to prospective tenants! 

I assist real estate investors, Loans for commercial use, Bridge loans, Individual, co-operate bodies, Business Startup etc.

I would shop for the deal.

They will have a legit job, not "my friend Frank at the auto shop pays me under the table."

After shopping around a little, I do like erentpayment.com and it seems to be one of the best priced platforms too.

Definitely great for shopping around a little more; I used to be a huge fan of Future Shop for White Westinghouse appliances.  

I cannot make it to Florida soon and don't know any body to help.I will appreciate any help to direct me to the next best action to guarantee my rights.

If your duplex has some used appliances (range, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, dryer) you could break out the thrift shop value out from the cost of your dwelling structure, and depreciate those over five years or until they are replaced, but, the thrift shop value of used appliances is usually not worth the time and expense of a cost segregation study.
