Hey everyone,So I applied to test for a GC license in California, but was short on experience.

No studies other than there are none around like I'm looking to build. 20x30 "commercial" storage with a roll up door and walk through door.

You have 3 tests to meet in 2024, all 3 of them.1.

That's a great situation that you're in with your employer sending you out to test these markets over the next 18 months.I am from Pittsburgh and happy to answer any questions you have about the market here.

I would at least get the permit to build as many units as possible.Then, you can decide to either build, package the whole deal to sell and roll the equity into something else, or refinance and buy something else.

Then, roll the excess into rentals.I like your plan for keeping your exit strategy flexible for each acquisition.

"One or more of the sink drain lines had leaks under them when tested.

The city stated they will send someone out to test the meter and yes, I charge the tenants a 5% late fee for late payments. 

Take it with a big grain of salt - I saw a property tagged with HIGH RISK of HEAT due to a 200% increase of days over 100F in the next 10 years....going from ONE per year to ...drum roll...TWO days per year.

And there is no way that you can run your business with $600 rents, but that is not their concern.The only way to know for certain if you can achieve those rents is if you put one on the market and test it.Gino
