Rebecca:  Welcome to BP and to the beginning of what can be an amazing adventure for you. 

Hey @Jonathan Greene, amazing post!

I'm amazed more people don't pick up on this and act accordingly.  

Everyone I tell this to is utterly amazed at how they could do this. 

It’s an amazing benefit we have that can help you get into a property with no money down.

It's amazing how much you can accomplish when you put your mind to it!

Amazing thread, thank you!

Amazing advice - thanks to you both! 

The average price per land for urban infill going 6-12 stories high on a higher density product is about 5 million an acre up to about 25 million an acre. downtown market premiums I've seen at the highest are 1200 a sq ft. in columbus you can get land about 1.5 million per acre downtown at best price, sells for about 600 a sq ft max, very little competition compared to miami. tampa I didn't really look at too much because miami has 22 zip codes that you can build at least 6 or 8 stories on and just a much better landscape than other markets. tampa is a little bit bigger than columbus but in my opinion more of a suburban market. miami is landlocked and very limited so everything is in redevelopment. both are amazing opportunities but the barrier to entry is much higher in Miami with the smallest plots of land infill going for at least 1.5 million I would say in areas like Wynwood Norte, Wynwood, etc. we looked all over but prefer east of 95 due to the condominium opportunities. multifamily is very strong in both markets but the condo premiums make it almost silly not to do one from the start and the use of deposits versus a single asset lease up and disposition is a longer sales cycle than the condo buildings being sold out prior to completion.

In the case of the countertop, he had an amazing fabricator who had a list of 3 warehouses for me to visit and choose the slab I wanted.
