I love it here because there are still positive cashflowing deals and lots of appreciation potential due to the strong job market, growing population, and major companies setting up shop here like Intel, Meta, Amazon, etc.

It's like opening a coffee shop and only targeting 30-40 year old males working in HR =) That is, unless you're opening that coffee shop next to a giant HR company where most employees are 30-40 year old males.

We as tenants had to acquire a shop vac and clean it ourselves, including dragging rugs full of filth and animal hair to the dumpsters.

What the local shop has, is what you get, unless you want to travel farther to see what else others have.

There’s definitely a strategy to applying for business credit to avoid alerting other lenders that you’re shopping for credit.

Many mortgage shops do NOT allow their loan officers to also be RE agents on the same transaction to much of a conflict of interest. 

This property’s location in South End is a major win—walkability to shops, restaurants, and the light rail makes it very desirable.

It was outrageous for what they went up to but nothing a little shopping around couldn’t fix.

I love the concept especially given the need in your market for storing things like snow machines, boats, rvs etc, but also for repair or general "fab shops".As long as you are seeing the demand in your specific market for these spaces, and perhaps its worth getting some leases signed up prior to breaking ground but thats a personal preference thing, I think the numbers look promising if the use case is there.

Labor/material are going to be different and need to factor that in4) new roof, new HVAC, new water heater, ac panel, replacing plumbing to PVCThese are very variable, if you are getting this from a licensed guy to do it and unlicensed.. is it a big shop or a local shop doing it, is the GC doing it they will put some money on the top so it will be more money5) framing (creating new bedrooms or baths)I would get all these quoted from a good couple of licensed guys and unlicensed to know your numbers to cents
