You can also turn to some of the sharks and investors plying BP who would be interested in your market. 

During development, I can get in there and increase efficiency by replacing furnaces, water tanks, better insulation, better doors and windows, etc.

When I max out my personal lines of credit, my credit score tanks.

One of our properties is totally off grid and in the mountains, so "utilities" consists of filling the propane tank once a year and the diesel generator every couple of months :). 

That can increase efficiency from ~90% (assuming a relatively new furnace and hot water tank) to ~97%.

Market just tanked recently with an abundance of buildings opening in Stamford, it's saturated. 

I was on the 1st floor an I heard gushing water- so we(me, the broker, and the seller) went into the basement and there was ankle-deep water- the source was a hot water tank actively leaking from some place or other.

Another one in about 20 years and the last one is roughly 30 years out.The same concept goes for things like furnaces, H20 tanks etc....

Buying an $800K property seemed nuts only a couple of years ago, but now they're going for $2M+.My hunch is that Brooklyn will continue to go up as long as the S&P 500 doesn't tank (NY real estate is very closely linked to the finance industry and bonuses). 

Would I be jumping the shark to start a ReFi process while we’re still waiting on inspections and have yet to rent?
