Been an owner for 4-5 years, learned quite a few things already, among which is that a commercial kitchen is not something to be made or modified lightly - it has to be properly designed and properly made in order to function well.So I have this retail store of about 1100 sqft that someone wants to take for a small coffee shop with the ability to bake.My question is where do I start searching for someone to design/compute small walk-in cooler, grease trap, vent-a-hood, stove and HVAC on top of that so all this could become useable without anyone getting burned.From my past experience I have local mexican crews who can do any and all of the listed things and they'd do them relatively well except they won;t ever be designed to actually work well together.On the other end of the spectrum I've worked with american general contractors and they tend to cost 2-3 times the Mexican crews and, at least in my case, ended up delivering about same end result (in all fairness it was only kitchen remodeling, not design from ground up; but statement stands valid and I was able to later do almost the same at literally third of the cost).Your expertise is appreciated.

I read online that a rent increase of 10% or more requires a 60-day written notice.

I don't normally like to talk about what I do to the online world but I stumbled upon this sub-forum and I figured this would be as good a place as any to talk about my plan. 

Actually on August 25th I know of a full day workshop that can be streamed online.

One side is an antique store the other is a ductless ac showroom/installer.

I did recently get a referral from one of the supply stores that I use, another from a 2nd supply store, and there's a 3rd contractor who I didn't reach out to because I lost his number but luckily, I bumped into him at a supply store. 

Personal loan through SoFi, Marcus or another online lender.

I am putting together a comprehensive package for developers that shows the potential for both commercial retail (since most major grocery stores, restaurants, mall, Hospital, attractions are 12 to 21 miles away (the airport is 6 or 7 miles away) and subdivision as the land has plenty of frontage and is on county water.   

I currently have taken my online courses and submitted my application to the state to get my Real Estate Agent License.

I think basically the deal with ABQ is that there is very little growth and very little new inventory coming online, which means on the one hand you are protected from rising vacancy but on the other investment RE is expensive for what it is, as no new inventory comes online to push down prices.
