The expansion of the infrastructure system is allowing people to commute much easier to get to those corridors.

It allows you to purchase and do renovations in one loan.  

As it stands, I have commercial lending in place that is quite favorable because it is loan to cost (allowing me to borrow for the rehab), but the numbers are very tight, as the mortgages are amortized over 15 years.

So how do I begin and sum it up for my partner ( who happens to be my future son in law) and I.Our WHY -  To obtain wealth that will allow us to provide a legacy for our family.  

That would allow you to get feedback from a number of seasoned investors and limit the chances that any one of us might miss something. 

It was zoned light commercial, but after going through a long process with the county, I was allowed to build on it using a use permit, and keep the light commercial zoning.

and hey if its not enforceable it was still worth a try as long as we have a severability clause in the lease so it doesnt cause any problem if that section is thrown outagain, hope your tenant issue gets resolved...its so frustrating that they are allowed to do this to us. 

The only time I allow it is when I don't have a same day check-in.  

(adult being an important distinction, I didn't get allowance when I was a kid, ugh) I'm thinking what I can do is let my sister list it, have her figure out what market value is so I don't have any family battles over fair value and her time renovating it.

If zoning allowed for commercial/retail in the future, this could also be an exit strategy for the future down the road.
