The problem with society today is that many don’t fully grasp the concept of value exchange and the hard work it takes to succeed.

I like the concept of making investing accessible and achievable. 

I posted the same concept on BP in 2010 and prior years.

The ground floor was redesigned for retail units, while the upper floors were converted into modern, open-concept office spaces.Modern Amenities: Introduced features like energy-efficient lighting, upgraded HVAC systems, and high-speed internet infrastructure.Aesthetic Upgrade: Refreshed the façade with contemporary materials while preserving historical elements to maintain its character.OutcomesIncreased Occupancy: The property went from 40% to 95% occupancy within six months of renovation.Higher Rental Rates: Upgraded spaces commanded rental rates 30% higher than before.Enhanced Property Value: The property's appraised value increased by 50% post-renovation.Investor's ROIBy investing in smart architectural design, the investor not only revitalized a neglected property but also significantly boosted their ROI through higher rental income and property appreciation.

If you talk to a lawyer about the concept, some of them pronounce it "main profits" and some say "mez-knee profits."

Participants in the commercial real estate space could do themselves a lot of favors by forgetting entirely the concept of purchase cap rate.Cap rate has only one useful purpose--and that is to estimate the price in which the property may sell for at a later date. 

Even if they don’t invest, they may introduce you to someone who will.Show Proof of Concept – If you haven't already, consider doing a smaller deal with your own capital or a close investor to establish credibility.

What the concept you mentioned is talking about is leveraging equity to gain cash vs. selling essentially. 

@Anthony ChanIt seems that you're missing the concept of depreciation recapture and expecting to get some refund from your previously overlooked mistakes.
