The lot is mostly cleared off and I have no issues knocking down all the structures for future development. 

Communication is the key and it was lost hereLet me give you real life example (not Toledo but still Ohio).Townhouse was bought in 2015 for $14K, $5K in repairs (furnace, HWT, plumbing), rented for $925/mo (average Rent in this development $850).

The developers, whatever else can be said of them, have accomplished amazing things and have solved complex problems ingeniously. 

I plan on starting a business after college and invest in real estate on the side and eventually become a developer. 

But I find deals for cheaper than that privately in Hamilton.East of Toronto, I'm not familiar with those markets.Something I want to investigate more in Toronto that I think could do really well is infill development.

For the box size of the car wash you would need to see what rent per sq ft they are paying for the market and make sure it was not inflated with TI (tenant improvements) from the developer.

My question:1) Do I need to get a permit from the town or/and notify the town development department?

3) Donate 1% of our revenue to local community development or social causes We feel it is our duty as real estate investors, landlords, entrepreneurs to help make the communities we operate in better places to live for everyone.

As an example, I looked at a new 3/2 development in Pflugerville.  

The more you network and talk to people the more likely a relationship will develop and you can start to build that trust.
