For example, a guy not wearing a hard hat could result in a $600 fine.  

I now provide client,s with  consulting and coaching in this field, As a result I have several clients who are active investors  or  Builder,s  looking for financing opportunities for their deal,s ., and new project,s.

I've been able to walk through a few properties here but I'm mostly already priced out of my favorite neighborhood.As a result I've been looking at Canaryville, McKinley Park, Pilsen (also pretty heavily priced out of) and Brighton Park for investments.

I have used the BP calc on a couple that I thought would be a good deal but have gotten negative results.

The buyer's personal credit worthiness is often a major factor in obtaining financing as these are often acquired as the buyer's personal property (not recommended).Commercial MF is evaluated entirely on it's ability to produce income. 

@Oliver Miller,You are quite right: the value of this kind of property comes from its ability to produce income.

They are cheap to buy (compared to a typical SFR) and produce good cash flow.

If your S-Corp produces $200,000 in Pre-Tax profit and you want to defer paying taxes by reinvesting the $200,000 does the following scenario fulfill the requirement?

@Imran Ahmed There are definitely pockets of Cape Coral that are going to produce higher returns, and less tenant issues.

Considering they all have the same term of 12-18 months, and a projected net profit of 1.5x equity multiple, (a $1MM project, with a $1.5MM ARV) which would you rather:-Debt securities, secured by the property, monthly returns, typically at a higher rate, no accrued returns or profit sharing; or,-Preferred equity, higher risk, quarterly returns at a lower current rate, with a set accrued return which brings your total returns higher than would be with debt; or,-Common equity, highest risk, quarterly returns similar to preferred equity, profit sharing upon sale or refinancing the property based on your % equity ownership.Also, any additional information you're willing to share would be great such as the type of deals you've invested in and the performance/results of those investments, especially if they influenced your decision.
