belovedrooster's real estate agent. He seems to have an understanding of neighborhood/commercial zoning and in fact even owns his own mixed live/work space. He is also willing to accept the fact that I am working with a leasing agent and will either buy or lease depending on which one of them finds me a space that I like first. I would say I'm pretty lucky to find some one willing to work with me under those circumstances.This agent also turned me on to a credit union that is paying 6.01% interest on their checking account. The only catch is that they give you a debit card and you are required to use that debit card 12 times per month. If you use it less than 12 times per month, then the interest rate drops down to 2%. I'm considering combining my savings and checking account to this credit union to get that interest rate. My only concern is that I'll never remember to use my debit card that often.
