We’re creating new segments for the show and are looking for anyone interested in sharing a property they recently purchased.

I segment the house into Kitchen/Bath(s)/Paint/Flooring/Mechanicals/Roof/Misc. etc.My advice to the OP is to start getting comfortable estimating project costs by eating the elephant one area at a time.

Beyond the "heart", I'm exploring ideas around weekly/monthly short-term rentals in certain segments in my market. 

I buy relatively good-sized apartment buildings and then pay for a cost segmentation study which allows tremendous depreciation in the early years.

PITTSBURGH--ONE OF FIVE BEST PLACES TO LIVE FOR the "Creative Class"—a segment that fuels cultural and economic vitality—in a study released by Kiplinger Personal Finance Magazine in cooperation with former Carnegie Mellon University professor Richard Florida, who developed the "creative class" concept.

If you're trying to figure out if there is a "need" in the market take a look at a few simple stats- VACANCY RATES in the segment your interested in (not just "industrial" but more specifically <5,000SF warehouse, 5,000SF-10,000SF of warehouse, 10,000SF-20,000SF of warehouse, etc, etc; the <5,000SF users are dramatically different in their needs than a 50,000SF user), AVERAGE RENT/SF (rate of return on an existing warehouse versus a new build), COST OF NEW CONSTRUCTION/SF (including land acquisition price). 

While I am not a scholar in this segment of the market, to hold the 'senior' designation there is a % of the residents that need to be over 55... and it is not 100%...   

In fact, one of the most valuable segments of the meetings are at the end where they leave time to network. 

. ($22 in today's money).Since then, the state has done a great job of attracting different business segments and industries in order to avoid repeating history.

I was hoping that some of our more astute members may share their strategy for maximizing their spec loans and how they segment them between lenders.
