I have a question on a retail property there. 

I had a guy in the department that always write down the passwords he made up somewhere and forgets where he put them.

You'll probably pay retail for most materials unless you have a source.4. (2%) Cost saving construction?

Is the house placarded by the health department? 

Therefore; I highly recommend getting to know your market, understanding the zoning of the area, what exactly is allowed in each zoning designation; and any long term growth plans your Planning Department has in place so that you know what will and will not be allowed. 

As a general rule, neither tend to have deep ties to retailers or are members of ICSC.I would suggest you check out ICSC.org and see who works the areas with your investments.  

Should you have the time, you can cross compare retail (big box store) pricing and or the competitors. 

Back in 2008 building departments were being downsized, so instead of letting inspectors go, they implemented this program. 

The partnership completes the exchange (the “swap”), andthen distributes an interest in the replacement property to the departing partner.

On the retail strip center side a very small center is 5% but most are 4%.
