Any help or advice would be great. 

I have done it several times now and have also tried long-term rentals vs. short-term rentals as I've house hacked.My response to your question may differ from others, but my advice would be to pull the trigger on the condo if:1. 

And remember, consulting with legal and tax professionals can provide tailored advice for your specific situation.Happy to chat more if you have any questions.

It's also smart to get advice from an expert to check if your property is a good fit for central HVAC.

Looking for advice here.

If it's Starbucks though I know I am getting paid for full primary lease term and even if they close the place they will pay rent to me so I am okay giving the full fee to leasing broker once they are open and operating.No legal advice given.  

You will need a lawyer.You will need an appraisal.You will need a home inspection.You will need title insurance.You will need a contract with the Seller.You will need some sort of partnership agreement if not a bog standard common law agreement as defined by your state.You will need a survey.You will need to heed the advice of the attorney in whether you need any other documents, and in what any document must provide for.You will need to have in your above documents what happens if you don’t like what is revealed or if there is a failure to get a document.The presence of a real estate agent is irrelevant to those things.Do NOT focus on saving the commission.

It's important to have the advice and perspective of an industry old-timer, in my opinion.
