@Ashish Acharya- thank you for your response, that provides clarity.

The construction contract should reflect the actual cost to build, ensuring clarity for the lender.

I'll update you on it all, as I gain more clarity and do some deals. 

To me, regulation, means clarity.

This will provide consistency and clarity in how you handle your properties.Start by reviewing your current Property Management (PM) agreement.

You have optionality which is amazing but it's tough to find focus before you have clarity.     

Thanks for your reply, but also my apologies for the lack of clarity.

I suggest you look for clarity on what resources you can use or companies can assist in using a small piece of that equity as a downpayment on another high-quality asset like the one you already own.

I agree with you as well and appreciate the clarity of your thoughts.
