Quick background regarding one of my businesses:-Martial arts gym, started in 2006-Little growth (up to 35 members) by 2009; merged with my business partner around that time; neither of us took marketing or growth too seriously -From 2011-2012, we tripled in size from 35 members to about 140.

I hear some revitalization and arts community chatter!!!!   

I use Quantum Digital for small lists but their website is not exactly user friendly. 

I have been reading my digital copy for the last couple of days (waiting for the hard copy) and it's great!

For billboards most use the digital led kind now.

In this scenario, amortization is going to bump your total current return to double digits ... and any rent inflation or market appreciation is gravy.The math works differently in these higher priced markets in ways that are unexpected if one's reference is a more typical market.

For example, a property with a homestead exemption in Florida is subject to a 3% cap in annual increases in assessed value (in a hot real estate market with double digit year over year gains, and/or on a property that has been homesteaded for a long time, this can result in major disparities between assessed value and taxable value). 

Right now I'm an on air talent for a small digital network in Boston but I want to get into real estate. 

It's definitely an art to knock and talk. 

Land costs and site improvements will also impact your initial investment.The most common "state of the art" facility will be about 60,000 - 80,000 net rentable square feet, cost $45-65 per square foot to construct (outside of existing land costs), and have break even operating expenses in the 40-60 percent range (not including debt service) of total stabilized income.
