Hi everyone,I’m considering buying a 2,500 sq ft commercial property with this deed restriction (in place until 2037):“Neither Grantee nor its successors, assigns or legal representatives, lessees, or sublessees, shall conduct or permit the conduct on the Property of, and the Property shall never be used for:(i) a grocery or convenience store selling at retail any food or food products, dairy products, beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises;(ii) the retail sale of any food or food products, beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages for consumption on or off the premises.”My plan is to use the space as an event venue (birthdays, weddings, baby showers, etc.), where renters bring/cater their own food and drinks.

For bird‑dogging across Ontario and Georgia, keep it simple and legal-first: avoid “referral fee” language where licensing laws restrict it, and instead use a written “marketing/lead assignment” or “consulting” agreement that clearly states you’re paid for delivering verified lead info, not negotiating or practicing real estate; get a local attorney in each jurisdiction to sanity‑check the template.

Builders often will put on cheap 3 tab roofs, vs a 30-40 year architectural shingle roof.Also way too many of the newer neighborhoods have HOAs and rental restrictions that prohibit or severly restrict rentals. 

I just read minutes on one condo O am looking at and saw a different unit had lost all amenities' access due to lewd and public adult acts.
