Assuming a building footprint of up to 5000 sq ft, use could not support the need for a lot of parking (probably <20 spaces).Not interested in auto maintenance and other uses that require disposal (and potential runoff/dumping) of large volume of hazardous materials.Long term, I'd prefer something that contributes to the improvement of this area (e.g. a used car lot might be OK for a couple of years just to generate income, but I'd want to find something more beneficial after that).

We live in San Diego and have been saving up to invest in our first property.

The inspection revealed that he had taken down on living room blinds, bedroom valance to the blind.

If you do this with a duplex for example, you are looking more at something like living in one of the units while renting the other side out for $1200-$1500 a month.

Currently living in it, but will be STR in 1-2 years.

What if nobody wants to live in it?  

Hi everyone, my name is Ernesto Martinez and I live in Oklahoma City.

I live in Miami so starting to invest in properties that are local will not be the best move.

And then I still wouldn't buy because if insurance keeps going up and up, it will be unsellable and tenants don't want to live in a flood zone unless they are on the upper floors.

I do live in a lower-income area that is now up and coming (more job opportunities, more infrastructure being built, local amusement parks, close to city, etc).
