Always think about the challenges the next developer will face. 1. fault line reduces the buildable area of the lot = reduce property value2. talk to a structural engineer & contractor about the added design and costs associated with both the fault line and the retaining wall. 3. if the steep grade is too steep then you might need to pile drive a wall vs grading and building a retaining wall which adds a lot of cost.

There is age of building, design of building, parcel size, usable land, shape of the parcel, sightlines from the road, access from the road, any junior anchors beside it and large anchors behind it to drive interconnectivity on a daily basis.If the building is typically more than 15 to 20 years old you are not landing a national tenant for it.

Springfield has a lot of crime but it's also very, very large and like Worcester, it's concentrated in specific areas.

I have a passion for helping others to create, find, and take advantage of opportunities to buy a house due in large part to my own experience.

How large?
