It's a trade off of tenant quality/economies of scale. 

Now is the time to build then trade.

But I am just as skeptical because of the marketing machines and upselling that is a hallmark of their trade.

The trades portion is just... asinine.

A good GC has a number of subs in their list, at least 5 each trade, or should know how to screen subs, have proper procedures for subs not just picking someone from craigslist, another form of GC has their own crew and only has special subs for special trades.

When you trade at that level, you need to understand how the sellers work.

And this is with a lot of custom (more expensive) details.The good:  I have good contacts in the trades to get work done. 

In other words, this property does not cashflow.Have you considered trading the "hope for appreciation" for "cash every month in my pocket"? 

@Fred Shatzoff - My plan is to buy and hold for cash flow and trade up when it makes sense.

He told me he had the opportunity to trade into a new car and get a check back on the deal, which intrigued me so i asked him how so...Basically he said that he trades into the newest cheapest cars he can get into every year or so before the bumper to bumper warranty expires around the end of the year when the new years cars are showing up on the lots, he said there is always a dealership somewhere that will liquidate cars just to clear lots for new inventory... which he takes advantage of...
