Don't ask on this thread, as most tax strategies require a good understanding of your current and future tax situation first.

so comparing miami to ohio or kansas or iowa is very wrong in my own opinion, because you are comparing diet coke with unsweetened tea, once the economy created its own pattern of success , comparing it to other town would not be accurate becoz the methodology of understanding the phenomenon has not been researched yet.like california is now the strongest market in usa although price wise it is the second highest and huge pop declines.

I do need to diversify though and get into the market at some point but I dont understand it like I do RE.  

It sounds like you understand that you can only 1031 the real estate and will have to pay tax on the portion allocated to the business FFE. 

Understanding is that the FAR is 1, unless its used as a 'Community Facility' which will allow a 2.4 FAR. 

I'm a very analytical person who won't start a new venture without first gaining a solid understanding, establishing the right framework and connections, and ensuring that I'm securing a great deal.

I've sent you a connection request and would love to connect to get a better understanding of the market.

@Clare Pitcher we do 12+ month leases to avoid vacancies Nov-Feb.If we take over an occupied property, evict or have tenancy-abandon a property, we first let the owner know finding a tenant will take longer than "normal".This opens up owners to understanding they may need to:1) Offer 3D tour and floor plans to stand out2) Price more aggressively or be prepared for aggressive price reductions3) Offer MoveIn Specials:- NOTE: we do NOT recommend offering a month of free rent that can be used at MoveIn.

I tend to do a quick dirty look at a building like JW with price per door, but after that sniff test, I quickly like to understand $Cost/SF and $rent/SF.The way I look at a single family, 2-4 units, or a 20 unit is all different, but the end result is still ROI or IRR (over time). 

@Stuart Udis Thanks, I understand the possibilities.
