However, you can explain that you already have experience/know what to look for if things are going wrong, and have a vetted Pm that you already use and is capable of taking on the additional units.It sounds like you have already put some thought into what you are looking for and just need to polish that off so you can develop an elevator pitch and longer presentation to get some interest in a deal.

I'm not attending this year due to conflicts, but I highly recommend it.One recommendation: have your 15-second elevator pitch to introduce yourself quickly but spend more time asking questions and learning.

Hi Ryan,Just off the top of my head, here are some of my thoughts.Look carefully at the zoning and see if there are other possible uses allowed for it's zoning type (and see if the zoning conforms currently).Such as Med/Dental (prob require an elevator), or whatever besides just office space (is the living space unit non-conforming--is it Grandfathered in, what triggers the end of the Grandfather, has that happened, will a sale make that happen (???)

.• Sustained occupier demand has led to landlord leverage for new leasing transactions; new deliveries have not supplied much rental relief due to elevated construction costs. • More than 22 million sq. ft. is currently under construction, which will provide needed space options to a tight market; any future impact to overall vacancy is expected to be negligible to none.Office• Sublease availability has roughly doubled since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, from 3 million sq. ft. to nearly 6 million sq. ft.

Not sure if it would be in the X or AE flood zone - I'm still looking for a good lot.If I went with the AE flood zone the elevation of the home wold have to be around 9'-11' and I'd want cement pillars. 

Practice your elevator pitch (remember, you're looking for partners, but it's still a sales pitch in one form or another.

I am think Louisiana, Florida, and Texas developers might chime in but if it is a SF, building above Base flood elevation is key to your flood insurance rates.

Now, material prices are elevated.
