I'm pretty much like everyone on here who got tired of the regular 9 to 5 job and dreamed of bigger and better realities.  

So basically someone that comes in cheaper than regular contractors who work for people who don't know anything!

Yup, that new…ANYWAY, I’m looking for advice on an idea I have about renovating a space for a future tenant.We have a commercial space with 4 offices sharing a shared waiting room.One of which my business partner (and wife) operates her therapy practice out of.We were approached by an established massage therapy practice who is interested in renting all three offices.My wife doesn’t feel like she wants to be the only metal health therapist in HER building.

Matt,I am speaking to marketing, when the lead comes in they need to be set up for multiple campaigns and alerts, I am speaking to several things:new similar listingschanges on the properties showed(price, sold..etc)market reports for potential sellers, which would give prospect insight on what their property is worth All of this data is in MLS and it would require lots of manual work to compile data like that on regular basesFrom what I understand all of this can be set up in Top Producer, so these campaigns and alerts are triggered automatically.Let me know if that makes sense

Knowing how to do that will help you make good decisions.Track everything you do and review it regularly.  

At first I approached the business as any regular Realtor would.

BiggerPockets has a huge wealth of information, and I'd encourage you to read everything you can on here.In terms of your goals, one of the best ways to get involved with investing in real estate, is to start off by working a regular job. 

I spoke with the health department and they have no information on this parcel.

It is also a pain for public accounting firm's, like ours, as the onslaught of 1099 worksheets coming by email, fax, regular mail, FedEx and I think one even came in by pony express.
