I'm about to embark on my first commercial real estate development project.I plan to buy a ~1acre property in Georgia to construct a 20,000sqft building with the following breakdown:8,000sqft retail space7,000sqft warehouse space5,000sqft office spaceI'll be using some of the office space and warehouse space for myself.

The brokerage I work at also owns a construction company so would be happy to discuss some estimates.

I have had years to think about this having owned a nice slug of A class IE brand new construction in the best school district in the state. and over 300 C and D class with a sprinkling of B class.from Jackson MS to Detroit and many cities in between and on both coasts... 

Also, would y'all agree with my realtor that a new construction home is a viable path forward, considering the competitiveness of the local market? 

Fix and Flip experience and New Construction experience is a PLUS.

Two lessons I have learned: 1) CashFlow is critical and 2) Sometimes it’s good to sell when things are going well- I bet you weren’t considering selling when it was worth $2.7M.  

I bet you are more like 3-4%. 3) Would you take a significant capital gain hit if you sold? 

So you still have to spend the time to run all the comps yourself and validate the property with the construction team. 

Please help me evaluate this deal:New construction SFH in Tucson, AZ area.  3 bed, 2 bath, 1512 sq ft. 

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.
