As Jim mentioned, you can go there at help desk on first floor or self service kiosk to get your ticket to planning department.

I am a lifetime resident of Southeast Texas and a full time Real Estate Manager of a 121,000+ sq ft Retail Shopping Center.

Hi,I own retail condo units which I rent out to various national tenants.I am in the process of hiring a new property manager and was wondering whether it is generally a good idea to hire the same condo's management company (who manages the residential side of the condo).

Most of the retail courses that I have seen try to teach you how to "control" notes so you can sell them at a profit.

Seth Williams and Greg Adlington Sorry I was asking what YOU personally consider Commercial Property, not necessarily what the planning department or bank considers Commercial for zoning or loan purposes.

Originally posted by Randal D: comps in area run about 155K (need more comps however)instead of seeing what's being sold retail, check to see what's been foreclosing in the immediate area and I'll bet you that you'll find that the comps don't come near that amount.

8) Let them know you don’t appreciate their high-pressure sales techniques… And you are going to call the news channel, the better business bureau, the real estate board, and tell them all about the picketing group you are getting ready to assemble in front of their sales department. 9) Let them know you will be standing on the corner in front of the time share on Saturday with a sign offering to sell your time share for 10 cents on the dollar right in front of their sales center...10) Let them know that you are putting together a group of other unhappy owners and wondered if they would release you their names and addresses, or would your attorney need to subpoena that information… Bottom line… Cause polite trouble… But do it legally… See what they say… If your are enough of a pain in the arse… It will be easier for them to just take the place back and have you go away…Aren’t I fun?

we're seeing prices leveling out and supply of dirt cheap REO's starting to thin out.too early to tell on the retail sales whether or not things are turning around...shakey economy

They just built a new stadium and 15 blocks of entertainment/retail district.

I took some of those on but after having to work a short sale, get the bank to agree to waive a deficiency against borrower, negotiate water liens down with the city attorneys and the watershed department, work on other lien holders including back property taxes it's too much work.The units would be gut jobs on the inside and you had to do months of negotiations where I would make only 6k or so in commission because the units would sell for a few k each.I do not mess with these types of properties anymore.
