As for the Pro membership in my opinion it was worth every $$$ I spent.

Get the broker to provide market surveys for your areas. 

(I apologize if this post is against the rules of marketing, I do not have the membership that allows me to post in the marketplace.  

Better yet to put my money  where my mouth is I'm signig up for a pro membership on 7/16/15.

No Memberships, No fees.

It's more questions and considerations, and might interest you..http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/4579/blog_posts/32645-if-ca-h-is-king-then-leverage-is-god---loans-cash-roe-roi-and-riskThere are a million indeces, but for real estate specifically, I think looking at affordability indeces, how loose loans are (either through Federal Reserve loan surveys, % of subprime or low-doc loans), and consistency of % real estate price gains far exceeding inflation for a sustained period, are all risks to look for..Also, when you hear your dentist, then your mechanic, then your landscaper, then your landscaper's assistant buying up and preaching the wonders of real estate investments.. when it's the topic of conversation of every cocktail party.. and when it's the only asset class everyone wants to be in.. you know the market is getting frothy..!

If finance a phase one survey is generally ordered along with an appraisal.I hope you are not into this property for a lot of money.It's very, very important for everyone to at least use an attorney that is familiar with commercial real estate and well versed in it.

Good Luck, Mike Having 15 years of running my surveying business, all I can say is amen.

However, when he mentioned it was a paid membership, I was a bit skeptical/caught off guard.

@John Barkow  It looks like it could be a decent investment but I first would phone survey the area.
