I believe with this view  investors can quickly evaluate a portfolio offering or individual deals with one simple glance.If you have or know of a similar template I would appreciate you sharing it , so we can all learn from it . 

Prices are a major limit in that market everything is high since demand is there.

High demand, little supply of available property for us to build on, and a permitting process that was to time consuming.

I've seen a VERY large demand in smaller warehouses (5,000 - 10,000 sq ft).  

And as far as I know, there is no negotiation on price because of high demand.

He wants to acquire his neighbor's property which is a 17,000 sq. ft. lot with an existing 1,650 sq. ft. house and add two more houses, subdivide the lot into three parcels, and sell the houses off individually.
