I have industrial suites that range in size from 700, 1,200, 1,800, 2,500, 4,000, 8,000, 12,000, 20,000 and 25,000 sq ft. 

Even accurate estimates don't bear out on a small sample size.

@Marc Shin We have used small baskets of the trash can size to make them look more upscale.

Depending on your practice size and income level, you may just want to start with maxing out 401k and also adopting a defined benefit plan before committing to becoming a lifelong real estate investor.  

So if the LP's have enough cash they simply pay the loan off and own it free and clear.. but the size of the deals are so large raising cash to pay off debt simply is not realistic at all so if the property goes into default your junior position investors find themselves wiped out.Further more thats why a debt fund like Chris has can be a good choice for the very conservative investor..

Look for a mid-sized PM company with a strong local presence.

As for why the US, simple - trust, market size, and access to information.

*Again, this doesn't seem necessary on your current lot because you are allowed to build a 2-flat, by right, on RS3 land of that size.

Current lease has size limits for both but it's time to reconsider- are size limits enough or scratch them all together?

It totally depends upon the size of the STR.
