Also, off-market opportunities can be a great way to find deals that fit specific investment strategies.

I'm happy to go walk the property and take photos and provide a simple report of the information you want to help you make a decision.

My plan is to develop five 1,200 SF units, allowing tenants to lease multiple units if they require more space.Recently, a 62,000 SF medical building from a Reputed Hospital Name opened directly across the property, which reinforced my belief that a medical office setup would be a strong fit for this location.

In this scenario, you might even walk into equity when your project is completed. 

Plus, as you mentioned, you could always tap into the equity later on to continue expanding.At the end of the day, it’s about what fits best with your goals.
