Another thought, with you being in construction, at some point you might want to look at building homes or multi families.

I am in the same boat of either 1031 exchange or refi some of my small multi's to purchase a larger complex.

Currently I am working in partnership on a luxury Air Bnb property in the Philippines to familiarize myself in short-term rentals.I live in Cerritos, CA and am looking to invest into a multi-family home to house-hack in Orange County, CA to get started.I will need a residential agent and possibly a contractor.I look forward to learning and hopefully working with you all!

Multi-story CBD office buildings in downtown urban areas are the product that is struggling.When you say temporary, infrequent use, are you speaking about leasing smaller Executive Offices or running a business similar to WeWork?

Those can be had for 3-5 bucks a piece after summer so easy to replace.Waffle makers.

In Franklinton there are plenty of large projects going on that will bring massive growth to the west side of Columbus, such as the Peninsula Development, which is a multiphase project that will erect a 24 story apartment complex featuring a grocery store, a multi use office space building, and a new hotel featuring a two-story venue. 

I'm actually hearing that it will be allowed for residential multi family as well, although haven't confirmed that.

There’s demand for rentals in the area, and multi-family properties tend to hold value even in market shifts.New Construction: With SWFL growing fast, new construction is a big play, especially if you can tap into neighborhoods where demand is rising but inventory is still limited.

Generally speaking, with SFR or small multis, I just rely on the lease/rent roll (and some form of proof of payment; i.e. bank statements, deposit receipts, tax returns, etc.). 

My starting questions so far are* If zoning allows multi-family, would I need any zoning approvals for a conversion?
