Denver Union Station Project (Colorado): The city exchanged several smaller parcels of land with a private developer, who in turn constructed a mixed-use development that included retail, office space, and residential units.

Don't buy beyond your means when it comes to construction.

I'd like to clarify my assumptions (numbered below), and I would be interested in (constructive) feedback, especially from, the OP.1.

I'm an experienced project manager with hundreds of cradle-to-grave efforts under my belt, including building project scopes and budgets, evaluating contract proposals, and managing construction to maintain the delivery of high quality products on-time and in budget.Penny is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), serving the community mental health needs of parents, children and families.We both recognize we have an immense opportunity to serve our community and want to capitalize on the blessings we have been provided so that we can continue serving our neighbors.My wife, Penny, and I are looking to transition into commercial multi-family real estate in 2025.

Perfect - do your best to make the floors as even as new construction.

Hello Mike, It is nearly impossible to answer this question without taking a deep dive on the numbers of each but often times in expensive markets like Seattle the cost of construction is so high that it doesn't make sense to tear it down unless you can build something way bigger/nicer.

There's no step by step guide but there are key things : Learn: RE strategies, what interests you, what do people in your area need.Connect: find a mentor, accountability group and be around those doing what you want to do.Help: solve problems- do people need dealflow, property mgmt, construction expertise, etc. 

I am lucky to have a fully integrated construction company where we do everything in-house and don't need subs. 

Anything beyond that is going to take some blocking and tackling (reaching out directly to local companies like solar farms, construction, medical staffing agencies, etc.).
