I think there are two maybe 3 ways to look at this in my mind.  1) you go into it and bring it all up to modern standards but using that old charm to basically take what is there bring it up to modern standards and rent it out essentially I'm thinking cocktail bar or something trendy like that.2) most banks are on really good centrally located real estate if this is true, then I'd consider it for the dirt, plan to scrape the lot and go vertical with whatever the highest and best use is.3) a kind of combo of the two, if the lot is in a good location and its doable, pull the vaults or other "character pieces" out of the building, scrape the lot, and build whatever is best suited for the site there, but incorporate those historical pieces into the final designs.Is the site near a major retail area?

Hi all, My name is James and located in New York City. 

This way, you'll have access to liquidity without the headache of managing separate loans and fees.Predicted Refi Rates: While no one can predict rates with absolute certainty, the general consensus is that rates may stay lower or remain stable in the short term, barring any economic shifts.

Are you thinking of investing in New York as well?

First off you do have to be better than Evolve (low bar) and second you have to believe you are :)

If all else fails, but bars on the windows and turn them into prison cells.

The crime rate in a large city like Cancun is actually lower than that of US cities like New York City or LA.

They'll be your guide through the process and you'll have no issues.And since we're talking international here's a big shout out to @CoffeeSlutGuam - the most uniquely named coffee bar on the Island of Guam. 

I am not interested as it sits directly next to a bar.
