I read Landlording on Autopilot by Mike Butler (a police officer turned successful investor) and confirmed my suspicion.

I have two rentals that are "only" getting me 0.7% but, with fellow military officers in them, their families are taking better care of the properties then I would! 

Hello BP,Was wondering if there were any commercial (retail/office) landlords that can chime in on how they were offering terms on TI. 

I am a retired military officer who can devote full time with my wife to this business.

The other consideration is the front of the bldg has about 5,000 sq ft of empty office space / lunch room / bathroom facilities / Meeting room etc; How to best make use of that space .?

This form provides evidence of the principal officer of our company.This letter is to serve as a formal written request pursuant to §2943 of the California Civil Code.

David O.Is it prudent to contact the appraisers office to find out their current assessment to determine what the tax will be?

We have an office very conveniently located in our town (on Main St.) so it's no problem for the tenants to come in and pay rent at the front desk. 

However, you may be better off contacting the county's fiscal office to inquire about a payment plan.

TIA Also, keep an eye out for @ryankopczyk he holds an investor friendly meet up at his office.
