I do not know what you are reading out there but that is a pipe dream.Do you have money that is yours 400k,600k,1 million to put down on an STNL freestanding single tenant building or MTNL  ( strip center)?

We are also close to the new Amazon distribution center in Cecil County :-)Best of luck to you!

I cash flow more than that on an $80k condo.Very good points and legit questions.I am going to call the accountant asap to figure this out.About the strict rental rules, the plan is to live there for a while (probably 6 to 12 months) because it is 5 mins from work and next to a family member that can help my wife with the kids (a toddler and a newborn) and it is in a great location (5 mins from Whole Foods, a big university, a big hospital, a huge mall, beach, Publix and 10 mins to Costco and a financial center).

Properties are plentiful and there is steady growth in most population centers. 

My business Partner Shane, is also former USAF.We are meeting tonight at the Omaha REIA at the Westside Community Center 108th and L area.

From what I've read in the forums and online, getting the info required on these properties is as simple as going to the county courthouse and asking for the probate files, then requesting to see the inventories of those that contain real estate.Unfortunately, the clerk I spoke to at the county's customer service center told me I can't see the inventories, therefore I can't see any property attached to a specific file.

For example class A industrial properties in port / coastal cities with class AA credit tenants and 10 years remaining term probably sells for a 3.95 cap in today's market whereas a retail strip center with 20% vacancy on the outskirts of secondary market might sell for a 12 cap. 

By 2017, the region became a dense residential area, packed with business centers and industrial developments.

Nick at FL RE Learning Center is awesome
