I don't post here often, but I do like what Henry Clark had to say earlier about choosing properties that have been on the market for a LONG time.I used that strategy for a 1031 exchange from a small condo to a 6ish thousand square foot commercial office building (no experience).

The purchase price of this three bedroom two bath 2100 square foot home is $230,000.

People think that they can cash in by suing them thar rich property owners.Regarding the amounts to insure, we just increased our rebuild value to $350 a square foot.

If so, he's let them lapse again because he did get them squared away a year or so ago.

During the past three years, a healthy proportion of those transactions were motivated by the sale of property in California or Washington/Idaho or Arizona/Nevada through a 1031 Exchange for coastal homes or multi family complexes along the Oregon Coast or I5 corridor. 

Price per square foot for new construction varies based on location and finishes.

New construction in columbus averages $219 per square foot we build sub $160 with garage on single family starter homes.

I don't know about OR, but WA, CA and BC are all very tenant friendly. 

The allowance is often expressed per square foot of the leased space.Per Square Foot Basis:TI allowance is typically calculated per square foot of the leased area.

NYC is as bad, if not worse than DC, Washington State, or California.
