We will have 2.5 acres to potentially develop.We are keen to develop the entire site but do not have the contacts/network to secure long term corporate tenants - either built to suit or ground lease.

PM is not keen to evict due to cost and other issues (e.g city authority etc).

I'm not too keen on putting my information on a website without decent security measures.   

I am under the impression that I may be 1-2 years too late for Waltham right now, given the insane level of redevelopment going on there, but I have only scraped the surface of Woburn and surrounding towns, and I know that deals could be found anywhere with a keen eye.

I'd stay in Keene and not go for the lower return in more remote areas. 

Keen to connect with engineers and architects in North NJ - Jersey City, Edgewater, Englewood Cliffs (Hudson county and Bergen County).

I'm investing in fix/hold rentals because I like 4 profit components:a) cash flow on monthly rental exceeding all expenses (although only around 0.8% to 1.0% of purchase price in my targeted A/B class rentals b) tenants pay down the mortgage over 30 years....significant equity growth.c) I renovate them and add value....the fixer-upper margin is niced) Denver has been appreciating at something like 10%/yr.All above are tax-advantaged, and tax-deferred.You'll find on BP that "cash flow" rental investors are really keen to maximize/emphasize "A" only....seek 2% in OH, etc.

I know you're keen on using OPM for the equity portion of your deals, but for the debt portion - are you usually entering into conventional funding with bigger Canadian banks or using other resources? 

I'm sure there are a lot of investors with way more experience and funding they can tap into that wouldn't shy away from the auctions, but I'm not so keen on it now. 

But the first thing I would do is try to check the sentimental nature of an inherited property and give a keen eye to whether it makes more financial sense to go the brrrr route or just sell it and use the capital elsewhere.
