I was thinking of one of those boxing rings that they have at carnivals or maybe even having the sumo grudge match room with the inflatable sumo suits.Keep the ideas (serious ones) coming...

Eyes open, ears to listen., pen to write and the willingness to execute.

I am sure however that there is big money chasing this dream so - the idea is to keep your eyes and ears open - to get in on it, where ever possible.The big building I refer to here is already owned by an associate, I guess the ticket here is to secure a lease and then find potential subleases for those who want to grow - like with your situation the area has access to many freeways - Carson Street is being worked on and expanded to bring more commerce to Pittsburgh and the Railroad is expanding to bring a distribution center to this area.So the possibilities are endless here.

If God be God, I'm sure the one that made the mouth and ears has the ability to speak and hear in a fashion that I can understand.So here we are at the clash of two end time ideologies.

oh, i'm all open ears here!

My cleaners are my eyes and ears, and I pay them well.

For instance in a 1 mile ring if all the activity is around the park then you have cleaning up to do.

The suggestions above are good one's when showing or viewing properties as a female investor...This is a also a concern for me as a woman when I am working on renovation jobs at a property by myself...sometimes early in the morning or late at night...Last year I got a rescued German Shepherd dog who I take with me anytime I am renovating a new property and she has become my eyes and ears (even for roaches and mice) and security guard (and nice company) during jobs.

People selling junk as FSBO are seeing their properties sit on the market and realtors who have poured honey into the ears of the sellers are seeing their properties become stale.

If you're interested in talking REI or know of any meetups or have any tips, tricks or advice I am all ears.
