easy to build, rent, refinance repeat. might not be your market. look at the underwriting model. we underwrite every deal not only with fresh comparable but market economics change. land costs go up or down, construction costs go up or down, design modifications improve the property, comp sets can get more favorable or less favorable.

So your super basic P&L may look like: $30,000 Rents-$3,000 insurance expense -$9,000 interest-$3,000 taxes-$8,000 operating expenses-$14,000 depreciation ----------------$7,000 loss on paper for the year  so negative taxable income But remember- $14k of that (depreciation) was something we didn't actually spend money on- so cash in bank at year end would be $7,000. 

It's an amazing market, super strong for tourism.

Easy access to NYC, Boston, and Toronto makes this region a logistics dream.
