@Brady Hastings Something that I have been thinking of posting as well. Looking forward to the responses.

@Wade Alderson Congratulations on your potential windfall and hope you find the cash flow properties you are looking for. I wanted to address couple of topics you raised. You speak of 401k scams and stock market scams etc, and I cant help but notice the irony as your windfall is partially if not completely because of a 401k that is worth 3mil.  Are there 401ks with high expense ratio funds in them? absolutely. But as an informed investor with financial industry knowledge, you sure can find and invest in index funds with low expense ratios. You asked if any 401k's achieve 642% return over 45 years, assuming a 6% return (i think avg market returns over such time span is 7% yoy) over 45 years, you will get 1376% return. Losses can happen with any investment whether it is in stocks, 401(K) or real estate. As others have mentioned, diversifying is important. If 401k and stocks are not for you, that is fine. No reason to call them scams.

@Chris Seveney I am curious as well. In areas that require 1 parking spot for ever 300sqft leased space, how can you get 40 parking spots in addition to the 12000 sqft building in 1/2 acre?

I am new to investing and wondering if I can get guidance on evaluation of a ground up construction. What min cap rate makes it worth it? Do you calculate it assuming its 100% full? It may take 2 years for a ground up to be ready to be leased. At what stage of the ground up do you start the leasing process? How long does it typically take to get a 10-15kft building leased? How do you divide the space?  Appreciate some input.

Thanks

I am interested at similar development of a retail center and occupy a portion of it while leasing out the rest. At what cap rate does a owner occupied new construction makes sense before you start? How long after construction does it take to get it occupied?
