The best recommendation that I can give you is to find a local mentor in your market who is willing and happy to hand-hold you through your first commercial deal.Commercial leases are typically more complicated than residential, and the "after renovation" value of the property can be subject to a lot of factors.Walk before you run -- find a few people who have knowledge in your local commercial market and buy them a coffee.

I think I'd have coffee (or a beer) and together write down what you agreed to in the beginning.

One thing that seems to appeal to people from larger cities is that we have a decent little downtown, but also a ton of nearby parks and other outdoor activities.

Also, if anyone in the SD area is interested in meeting for coffee or a beer (my treat) and talking RE, Let me know.  

  #2 as soon as you close your first deal they all get a starbucks card for a cup of coffee with a handwritten card, #3 when you close your second deal they all get a book from you with a hand written card.When you close deal #3 you start buying leads you can work....not from Zillow or Realtor.com or someone like that, but lists....you call, you door knock, you talk to people in person.   

Some of the factors may be road congestion, the supply and demand of the product and nearby product, roadway access to major arteries for work (183 is undergoing massive roadway construction,SH 130), schools, etc.

I’d love to sit down and discuss some strategies and options with somebody who has experience in this arena, the coffee/beer is on me!!

All she wanted was a clean place to live, a comfy La-Z-Boy recliner, and some friends nearby.
