Make sure your property is also on the eastern side of the street as that street seems to be a major thoroughfare and the comps change a little bit on the other side.

The side street that I am on the corner of has the only liquor store in town a couple hundred yards up. 3.

You will likely find a good many folks who would like better returns with better security and less volatility than Wall Street, especially in today's political climate.Most of the investors in my local group have little or none of their own money or credit in their deals.

Sorry It would help if I attached the article. http://www.wsj.com/articles/wall-street-as-landlor...

Looking on Google Maps (2017 images) I'm seeing some nicer properties on the street and surrounding streets.

I would write a $50,000 check out to say, 100 Main Street, LLC.

Just today, Green Street Advisers is warning about a deadly combination that may hit some rental markets soon - accelerating supply and decreasing demand, as the Millennials age out of renting and the following generation is much smaller in number.All of this militates for a very conservative approach to investing in apartments - exactly the opposite tack being taken by investors out there  "making" deals work.

Do apartments, but have a couple of clients that own strip malls.First, any type of property can get overbuilt, however, both guys are happy because:1) High traffic count and street egress and parking (kinda tough getting all of that in one place)2) Site exposure - You want ALL the storefronts facing the street and NOT a mall that is perpendicular (ie the short end) facing the street3) Get a good anchor (like major cell phone guys) that bring a lot of traffic to the mini-mart since they're there already4) Try to avoid some businesses like small specialty groceries by first-timers that stop paying rent after 3 months since they have no clue on how to run a store.

@Jason Murray good luck... and I promise you once you get going it’s better than any drug out there!!!

There is a driveway for parking cars as well as ample street parking.
