Account Closed Jerrin, we can definitely grab a coffee when you come down and talk about the best way to get you acquainted with the area! 

Some people love living in apartment complexes because of the amenities, it's frequent for SFRs nearby (if both are in good locations) to function in harmony because a steady stream of people will be looking to . . . get a yard for their (oversized, non-apartment-friendly) dog, get rid of the noisy upstairs neighbor, get a little more privacy, "move up" a bit, etc.  

If anyone in the area would like to grab a coffee or jump on the phone to talk I would love to get some great advice.

The best recommendation that I can give you is to find a local mentor in your market who is willing and happy to hand-hold you through your first commercial deal.Commercial leases are typically more complicated than residential, and the "after renovation" value of the property can be subject to a lot of factors.Walk before you run -- find a few people who have knowledge in your local commercial market and buy them a coffee.

I think I'd have coffee (or a beer) and together write down what you agreed to in the beginning.

One thing that seems to appeal to people from larger cities is that we have a decent little downtown, but also a ton of nearby parks and other outdoor activities.

Also, if anyone in the SD area is interested in meeting for coffee or a beer (my treat) and talking RE, Let me know.  

  #2 as soon as you close your first deal they all get a starbucks card for a cup of coffee with a handwritten card, #3 when you close your second deal they all get a book from you with a hand written card.When you close deal #3 you start buying leads you can work....not from Zillow or Realtor.com or someone like that, but lists....you call, you door knock, you talk to people in person.
