Shop around a bit, run the numbers, and see if that doesn't make more financial and lifestyle sense.  

I am thinking of doing some retail development myself but keeping it to smaller projects that take 6 months to 1 year to get a return back versus the larger shopping center 3 to 5 year anchor builds.  

Has anyone used a mystery shopping company to find out how well your staff is perceived by others?  

I have been following the 50% rule as I shop around

Purchasing a duplex in Ft Worth area and shopping around for loan.

Most shopping centres and hotels do not fly flags in keeping with protocol}.

Two streets over from this duplex Domain just built 4 SFH and had them sell almost instantly.Rental and buyer pool also comes from st pete, and the numerous shopping centers/shipping centers/schools in the area.South of Gandy gets a lot of flack but it is seriously underrated.

I already found a good place 12miles off campus that is close to shopping areas and close to public transport.

Depends on number of units you own but a few typical rules of thumb for properties of 20 units or more are:Be sure you are raising rents to your market value and shop other properties similar to yours.

First option is always your parents.Also, if you user a mortgage broker instead of a conventional lender (the major banks) they will only run your credit score once while shopping you around to mortgage lenders.
