I've got a property under contractPurchase price $78K out the door (I have cash to close) Intent: build on the property which already has a functioning well, septic, and needs PGE installed Total buildout on the property utilities: $128K including the original land purchase price.

I borrowed $110K from a private lender for the purchase and self funded the repair of the offices. 3 months later, I rented 6,000 sq.ft. of office space to a corporation for $21,000/month + utilities for 5 years with another 5 year option.

I own real estate investments and I own other asset classes like stock, crypto, etc. and there are pros and cons to all of them.I will say there is nothing wrong with selling your property and utilizing the cash elsewhere.

Estimate utilities and figure out who pays them (separate meters, landlord paid, etc)5.
