@Johnny L...easy solution. Just use referrals only from other developers🤷🏿‍♂️

I've seen some pretty healthy asking prices for land where all entitlements were obtained & approved.

Also, I do understand that there's a cost paid to the geotech, architect & city prior to approvals.

But... Is there a formula to how much more that land is worth when it is shovel-ready?

Thanks in advance.

I know, I know, I know. There's going to probably be a lot of pushback on the fact that someone would even think about tithing on a loan that has to be paid back🤷🏿‍♂️

BUT, I want you to think about this...

When you're refinancing a rental property, you're usually doing this with the intention that your tenant is going to be paying off your loan.

So... Wouldn't this cash-out refi loan really be an increase that an investing Christian tithes on?🤔

Ask the local commercial realtors or brokers for the going storefront square footage rents in that area. Then make your determination from there.

Hi @Charles Parrish & Happy New Year! The 'buying corners' sounds just like the mall approach to big box stores. I never thought of applying it to a city block.
Btw I would never use that gas station again LMBO!

Happy New Year, @Jesse T... Unfortunately, this whole area is in dire need of a facelift & there hasn't been any new projects for decades. I may seek some outside resources to get the job done. Thanks for the idea...

Yes I agree @Dawn Anastasi, some people are resistant. I would hope they would want to play a part in revitalizing the downtown area. Lord knows it needs to be modernized. We shall see... Btw Happy New Year

What is the best way to go about purchasing a whole residential block? In an attempt to avoid the situation where you have the last seller(s) thinking they're on TV holding out for an astronomically high asking price, what would be the best approach? And yes, I am aware of sending different individuals as buyers but are there any other creative ways? Thanks.

Thanks Joel. Hopefully, those government reforms will somehowbe beneficial to our advantage. 

*fingers crossed*

Hi BP... What is the best way to find overseas investors for commercial real estate development projects in the United States? I have some great market feasibility study proposals that yield high internal rate of returns. Suggestions? Thanks.
