That's a decision you have to make. 

If the trade value of an old shopping mall is less than the build cost of a new storage space or warehouse, then it doesn't make sense to build a new storage space or warehouse, just buy an old shopping center.

The triplex is much more popular with traveling work crews for specialists in the trades and insurance relocations, so if we were to do it again, I would probably worry less about making each room it's own rentable space and save a little bit of those costs. 

Our strategy is successful but requires investors to commit to a fairly intense prospecting and decision making pattern.

This decision increased our budget from $15K to $45K, but it turned out to be a wise investment.The increased budget allowed us to enhance the property's overall value significantly, and we were able to sell it for a much higher price than initially anticipated.

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

If you ever want to connect and trade thoughts on your goals, I'd love to do that. 

Was truly one of the best financial decisions of my life. 

I have a client in Kansas City, MO that had to make the EXACT same decision a couple of years ago.
