When it comes to older office, in particular multistory office buildings, the challenge is often looking beyond 'it pays a decent return' and digging in to understand what is required to day to keep vacancies low, and equally or more importantly what will be required tomorrow to attract or keep tenants?

I can tell you that my most difficult or challenging thing is contractors.  

If yes, that's where the challenges begin.

You actually can decide to reject a applicant for any reason you choose provided when challenged in court you can show the applicant you did pick was better qualified.

An occupied property comes with additional challenges.

Who knew it would be this challenging to find one.

I know that all sounds harsh, but if you aren't up for the challenge of being hard, than you need to hire that out.  

.:  Same to both of you...if you are not satisfied with the servicing you are receiving please contact me and I'd be happy to discuss a much stronger option for the investor.

Builders I know have now had to add months to their pre construction planning to satisfy all of these requirements.On the build side, a ballpark - repeat ballpark - number is about $200 per square foot.  

And you'll only have the money to spend for a short time since it will have to satisfy the loan when you close the sale.
