There is an article this morning at finance.yahoo.com telling about the post office plans to reduce delivery to individual locations.I would also learn about the paying habits of the government prior to running the final numbers.

Here is an article to give you an idea of what can be looked for to zero in on where one might piggy back on the efforts of cities, and communities within them: http://www.adn.com/2012/12/19/2729598/two-acda-properties-sold-in-mountain.htmlOther good signs to look for include areas where they are building schools, churches, developing parks, beautification projects, and infrastructure projects.

I've also been reading books and articles on hotels and hotel investing, and have been analyzing deals and submitting offers. 

In an article like this: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/03/1...The author says "Let’s say you structured the deal such that the investors get 75% of the building and you gave yourself 25% for putting the whole thing together."

I would say you can read this article which should help you determine your stand on which way to go.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2016/07/2...I would say don't rush into anything.  

The majority of threads/articles/etc. pertained to people looking to make a living from buying investment properties rather than those who just wanted one property to use for another business and letting part of the tenants' rent pay the mortgage.

They also try to include articles, pictures, and other "fun" stuff that people like to see on Facebook.

. , I saw that article and thought it was interesting , it makes sense though.

Hi Jon, I wrote an article about this exact topic.
