Also, may have instances in which if you go over a certain amount of useable sf you may have to fire suppress a building that would not originally have to be since it hit that minimum space requirement.

Those landlords that choose to artificially subsidize communities via suppressed lot rents do not generate sufficient reserves to set aside for inevitable capital improvements to the community’s infrastructure and aesthetics.

I would imagine most of the time the bloated returns are a result of not suppressing unnecessary pages.

The silver lining to that is that, because rents increases have been suppressed for a while, there should be some upward pressure on them to snap back up after home prices start to rise again, which is effectively happening now because rates finally went down.

I still consider myself fairly new to this world, and I can say with 100% certainly the biggest battles are the internal ones, and this industry has given the pleasure of being forced to address several of my short comings, and continue to address them all the time.I find I get the most emotional when I get reactionary, so my constant focus is around honing and suppressing reaction as a whole both internal and external.Thanks for taking the time to write this up.

Keep in mind the defaults and distressed sales that flow from them will further suppress cap rates until all of that inventory works its way out of the market and investors don't see more of it on the horizon.

An Architect can look out for your best interest in the project plus can bring all the Engineers necessary for the build (Civil, Structural, MEP, Sprinkler/Fire suppression, etc.)As far as the build itself, if it's in an established city or town on a tax lot, then you'll need to go through the design and permitting process, gain zoning approval if necessary, and then build up from there.
