I could see folks doing new builds if they have 1031 money they need to place somewhere and they are putting 30%+ down however.Way too much sunshine in this thread about the current market conditions here in Huntsville and Madison right now. 

I know there is of course no set rule out there but just curious on folk's experiences.Also curious to know folk's thoughts on what the CONSERVATIVE median $/sq ft for the Los Feliz / Silverlake area on LA is.Thanks all!

They are still in government conservatorship but folks are making wild money.

The one unfair advantage that you have, as I see it, is that middle aged and older folks LOVE seeing a young person working really hard. 

BPCON attracts investors from all experience levels, including folks looking for their first or second deal.

Hi @Lucy Parker, how is the Dubai real estate now for US folks to invest in Dubai? 

Less than 10 minutes and they are done.Self Managed, Low Volume - these folks collect the same rent every month, have minimal expenses beyond their mortgage and find it very easy to collect the few documents they have to report it. 

thanks for the guidance @Kaushik Sarkar Since it's development it will take longer to get to the exit. 3 years could be right depending on the market, if the project requires entitlements, how long it takes for permits, no major utility obstacles, etc.

My focus is on providing either turnkey-style space for those interested in temporary, infrequent use or long-term leasing for business folks who require conference room space (or perhaps event space).

Sounds like a cool opportunity and it also sounds like a lot of folks have some good ideas/approaches.
