I recommend taking a quick weekend trip there so you can get  good lay out of the area you are thinking of.

Thanks for your opinion on when is 'too far', that aligns with my intuition.

You do this long enough however you do not need some checklist in front of you, and it becomes more about intuition and experience that you are pulling from to know what a good deal is and what is a deal to let the hotshot fly by night person try and make the buck with.

I’ve been in a great deal of them for work :) there may be a few extra square feet I could manipulate to squeeze something in on the first floor but the last time I checked my layout it wouldn’t work out with a first floor bath.

I am looking to expand and want to layout 1, 3, 5 and 10 year goals. 

After potentially finding a deal how do you lay out a deal on paper to a partner?

The lease will layout the promises between Lessee and Lessor. 

Im no expert on the entire layout of the forum and there are definitely some overlapping areas but I would say this area isnt wrong.

Exciting man ... keep it up and lay out your vision, plan, and what it looks like when you are done.

But seeing the value increase by this much also reminded me to trust my intuition.
