So the time frame you mentioned I never had to go anywhere near that.

Though I find searching on desktop version near impossible...can't find where to do it. 

I don't have too much experience with real estate (besides purchasing my primary residence) so I've really been enjoying the content here so far :) My goal in the near-term future is to buy & hold at least one commercial property somewhere in Northern California (probably not San Francisco due to insanely high costs).

We are no where near that.

Kudos to you for sharing the wealth on the other duplex on the market near your buy - lots of folks here looking for similar deals and your story could be just the motivation to push someone across the line. 

Near The Woodlands and growing very fast!

@Mike Verna  Considering rates are probably only going up in the near future, I would consider locking in the lower cost financing now for the long term with the last 5 conventional loans. 

I think it would really depend on your needs, there are probably places like this in the Midwest or even upstate, but you might want to look near a major airport if you need to fly in an out of the location often.

The wood used today is not nearly as dense and resistant to termites and rot.
