SFD is the highest restriction, restrictions are lifted to allow other uses, like going to 2-4 family, then to multi-family, then to say office, then retail, and on to heavier uses until you get to industrial which is the lowest restriction, low restrictions as in you can do darn near whatever you like.

I prefer the live classroom courses though, you learn more real world stuff, can spasm questions, met other people.It’s fine if she wants to learn the investment side, but if you want her to make Money, she’ll do better with the retail side.

That projects such as Hampton Station Birds Fly South Brewery, Poe-West Mill retail and access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail are all positive indicators.

I was so emotional and just wanting to liquidate his entire estate as quickly as possible that I just didn't think I was up to the challenge of rehabbing a 60 year old house that needed massive repairs to the tune of $100,000 or so.I had the cash and the house was totally paid off but,I just didn't have the courage to deal with contractors that would see a goof like me coming and take me to school.No one around me encouraged me to seek out advice and help from experienced investors and just told me to sell it and be grateful.I threw away a house that would have been worth $500,000 after rehab and fully paid off!!!!

@Troy Gravett@Linda Cheng@Kyle MitchellBecause inventory for end users is so tight in the greater LA area right now, you're seeing retail buyers move towards properties in the investor space, which is further driving up prices and squeezing out margins for investors. 

. $2,100 X 4 (4 points) = $8400 (loan origination fee) $2,450 per month (14%) (interest monthly)Closing costs = $8,40020% down = $42,000Cash needed to fund = $50,400Purchase price = $210,000Rehab budget = $90,000After retail value = $339,00-$379,000Cash owed to lender = $23,100-$37,800 depending on how fast I can sell it. (6months-12months numbers) So basically my costs are 300,000 to buy it and rehab it, plus about 25k to 38k back to the lender.

Fellow BPers,I found a commercial retail property (strip mall) that I am interested in but I have no idea how to evaluate it.
