Aspects like location, building structure, building floors, floor lay-out, building length and depth, stairs, elevators, and facade are needed be looked into when considering the conversion.

For long run, I still feel downtown has its charm yet before Vac, it is tough to ride the metro or go through elevator.

Whatever it is get your "elevator pitch" down on what you bring to the table.

THAT is how people elevate themselves NOT via handouts, your "donating" is propagating the problem. 

There is so much more, but on an elevator speech, I would say something like that.  

I am running the numbers on a new build 3-story 12 Unit Multi-Family with an elevator and would like to know the impact on the financials it will have.What can I expect a new elevator to cost in maintenance, how often are they inspected etc?  

A shorter explanation of what I am trying to accomplish (still long, but the basic idea is in the first paragraph): The Good Neighbor Association**Elevator Pitch:**The Good Neighbor Association (GNA) is a nonprofit property management company that focuses on the community, and being a good neighbor, over profits.

You also have to walk down the hallways and take the elevator, but are stuck being too close to people. 

They said I either "pose an elevated financial risk or violate their own policies" but they are "unable to provide any further details" I'm just a dude with some properties that I rent out.

If there are elevators, add another 5%.In my opinion, 30% is too aggressive.
