If you're talking about building additional square footage, it's almost always a non-starter.

Here are just a few questions you would need to answer in order to clarify a little more what you are wanting to build:1 - How big, in square ftg?

same with us, we study infill every day though through case examples. the best part about infill is no risk. buying lots like what builders are doing even national builders still are shifting the risk to local land developers. my recommendation is to look at permitted uses, price per acre, etc. if you want lower risk buy a larger tract of land from a large developer out of a 100+ acre development to lower the risk. if you are doing it from scratch work with a group who's doing subdivisions. you can go and read the subdivision plats in your recorders office online every county has one. in columbus where I do the majority of our development we are specifically starting to target zones where the economics are also favorable.

@Jordan Miller most Class A & B rental properties bought since 2021 really don't cashflow from day one.Class B will take 1-3 years to start showing cashflow.Class A, 3-5 years.Current investors keep making the mistake of looking back at deals from 5-10 years ago when prices & interest rates were both a lot lower, but NOT rental rates.

I'm going to be walking into a lot of commercial brokerages and building rapport!

They were referrals and the business started to grow simply because I had a competent team that was responsive and looked out for the owners' best interests.

Is just the fact that no garage could be a no go for some buyers enough to build it even if it only raises the value by the actual cost?

You are already off to a great start with a lot of great advice from the community.

I didn’t expect them to cashflow when I got started.

The next 2 offers started a bidding war I got over asking with inspection for information only .
