Quote from @Mike Klarman: So, the Ground Up Programs are the hardest to get into. 

If you find a solid, boots on the ground realtor/PM who has experience in the flip business you should be fine. 

They are very win win oriented and they say each lease is unique and creative it different ways because each of the 130 businesses there are in buildings, factories, hangars, and shops all located on federal ground.

You can't go wrong anyway but you want to have some sort of boots on the ground to get you started and understanding the area.

You can just as well get married but say you'll be back someday keeping your right to come and go, no one should care, unless you've done a lease change about your space and that you are officially exiting.If None of these supposedly agreed upon things are in a lease, then you may have a problem, and lack the grounds to enforce lease violations.

Rent growth is a function of supply, demand, and interest rates:- I'd ground any forecast by stating I expect national rents to rise on a pace more or less in line with inflation over any long time period. 2-3% per year.

Always excited to connect with others building something from the ground up!

gotta echo the sentiment for spending some time on the ground even if a small amount on the front end. 

It isn't jumping out of the plane that hurts, in fact it's a pretty nice view, it's hitting the ground that does the damage. 

The key is getting (I mean the most important part) a good agent or boots on the ground.
