Quote from @Mason Stewart: My wife and I have been flipping one house a year in our local market here in Texas.

Like David mentioned above, some tenants will complain no matter what but you'll still want to look at both good and bad reviews from both owners and tenants.

Quote from @Elias Koshy: Me and wife are renting out our house and currently staying at house owned by my In-law.

Unfortunately from my experience, Land Surveyors have no expertise in Zoning issues and and land use actually defer to Architects and/or Zoning Attorneys for this information.

I’m looking to connect with realtors who specialize in investment properties and to learn from all of you here. 

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I’m developing a commercial building in a country in West Africa, and would love your insights on its profitability and financing approach.Project Summary:- 950 sqm corner plot under a 40-year ground lease- G+1 commercial building with 36 shops, a prayer room, and rooftop ad panels- Located in the capital's market zone — very high foot traffic- Initial investment: the equivalent of $USD 930,000 in local currency which includes the 10 years of prepaid land rentRevenue & Occupancy:- Annual rental revenue (Year 1): the equivalent of $USD145,000 in local currency- 7% shop rent increase every 5 years- The annual revenue assumes 100% occupancy, which is typically reached within 1–2 years in this area due to high demand and visibilityOperating Expenses:- Recurrent yearly expenses total USD$20,000, covering: Security, maintenance, generator upkeep, insurance, taxes, repairs, and contingencies- Land rent restarts in Year 11 with a 10% increase every 10 yearsFinancing Scenarios:- With loan (USD$550,000 at 7%, over 6 years)   → Break-even in Year 12- All-cash (no loan)   → Break-even in Year 8After breakeven, the project produces pure cash flow for 28–32 years. 

The NYC market doesn't wait for anyone, and NACA's timeline just doesn't always line up with the urgency you’re feeling.It sounds like you’ve been doing all the right things — saving, learning, prepping — but at some point, waiting can start hurting more than helping.
