I would imagine being understaffed is the new normal if businesses want to stay in Vancouver proper.

It has been a few years since I have visited, I’ve heard that development has really taken off in Placencia.

According to the City planner, there is no immediate impact to the current construction/units according to the city but this could be developed in the future for mixed use.We have no experience in commercial so any input would be great .

To start with, the things I do realize that I need to research more is everything regarding paperwork like how to make a proper purchase agreement(I do know that I will have to deal with a title company in Ohio) and where to find a decent real estate attorney.

Keys to the business:  attitude, persistence, product knowledge and training (knowing how to properly inspect, make a listing presentation, demonstrate a property, and CLOSE.)This is a wonderful business. 

Temple in located right on the I35 corridor, is a nicer town than Killeen, and is seeing a good amount of new development in the area. 

Not only is the income you make by flipping taxed at whatever your marginal rate is, it is also subject to Self-employment tax (this can be circumvented with proper entity structure and planning). 

My primary business is selling land in LA and the Inland Empire to homebuilders and other kinds of developers. 

., if you're not willing to pay for a home inspection then they might assume you're not serious about the home, and therefore they may not invest their time doing a walk through with you).Its definitely harder to get estimates/opinions from contractors without having a relationship with them first, and its hard to develop that relationship without doing business with them.  

If they could get out of their own way of their own regulation or reduce them for developers and charities to be able to build housing from say shipping containers,  or in older commercial buildings without having to do a full upgrade to modern standards.
