I acquired my first rental 20 years ago for my primary business - Subway restaurants.

It's like going out to a restaurant vs cooking at home.

Hey all, I am in Austin TX and in negotiations on a retail/office property with a restaurant as the majority tenant and two other office spaces beside it.

No need to dress too fancy, the atmosphere is casual and it is a BBQ restaurant but we are in Texas so that should be no surprise lol.

Is there a coffee shop/casual restaurant in Lake Oswego that will work?

Is the Salt Cellar restaurant still open there?

I'd suggest that you start listening to the BP podcast, maybe when you are in your car.I do some investing in Austin, and some in DFW too, and have a restaurant in Canton, which isn't too far west of Tyler.  

I understand what you're saying but just wish there was a way to rate renters like you rate a restaurant with Yelp. 

Commercial areas (Germantown Ave/Greene St.) seem depressed at the moment, but it's easy to imagine more bustling streets with nicer retail, restaurants and bars.
