Hi Joel, what is it you are wanting to build?

and as someone who build new homes.. 

My goal is to eventually get to a higher cash flow in the years to come and simultaneously build equity in the property.  

So, I'm about to close next week, and I've been looking at commercial properties, specifically 5-8 unit ones.I recently made an offer on an 8-unit building in the Southeast, which seemed like a great deal.

I would use the time with current tenants to get contractors in and give me estimates on future projects I have planned for the place, then execute them once tenants move out.If there is a good contract on the tenants moving out either June 20th or July 2nd with the prior landlord, would you go forward with the June 5th closing date or move it to a different date after the current tenants leave?

@Yong Jin Lee I recommend getting a few estimates from contractors.

Sure, leveraging in real estate cab be a wonderful wealth-building tool.

Same with contractors, most GCs you will meet aren't worth their weight in scrap metal.
