Or maybe the search needs to be improved.8 - Is zillow zestimate worth anything?

Zillow has continued to improve and honestly my local MLS is no better than it was 5 years ago. 

If they are under 20, then involving them in the development and subsequent day-to-day management (well, weekends and school vacations, really, when you are talking about a paintball place) of a Paintball facility would afford them an opportunity to learn how to run a business (and how to delegate and hold both themselves and employees accountable).

If all four conditions are well met, e.g. its close to Center City with good transportation (public or otherwise), pricing is steady or rising, permits are constant/persistent (indicating still room to grow), and rents are solid, if improving, and the inventory moves quickly -- you have a good neighborhood with long term growth.Would love to hear other investors thoughts on this -- these are just my very inexperienced thoughts.

I have yet to really look into commercial, but I'm trying to keep this to 20k to spend to keep the common investor involved.

A couple of questions as I'd like to improve how I do this with my tenants:1) do you raise rents annually and if so, how much and how do you determine how much?

They also improved the landscaping.  

However, The San Diego market is much more difficult to get involved in.

I was/am involved in the development of a roughly 5 acre parcel on Kauai. 

I've been a part of some of these deal and the psychology of everyone involved is fascinating.
