Since I have worked in the oil & gas industry for 20+ years, this was a reasonably simple transition for me.

I'm looking at a property that is listed as a 2 flat; however when I went on the chicago zoning website, the zoning class is B3-1 which does not make sense since there is no retail currently.

Maybe I am reading the wrong books or overcomplicating it, but it seems like this area gets skimmed over.From the research I have been doing, going through an agent in any market likely means you are getting a Market/Retail price.

Hello, I’m brand new to this industry and have not started my first property yet.

Most retail buyers cannot tell the difference between $2/sf LVP and $10/sf laminate.

Find out what the going rate is in your area by asking local groups in the industry. 

I do have to say this will really suck for the real estate industry and be curious its impacts.

If i want to be middle of passive and active than commercial multi, retail or industrial. 

I have 15yrs experience in the industry but my company does not do 3rd party management at this time.

I've worked in the commercial real estate industry for a few years doing capital markets, acquisitions, and valuation advisory and I want to start my own firm doing debt and equity placement.Does anyone have any advice on how to get started in this space?
