@Allen L.

My team can build one for you, if you find a site.  Got some creative cost saving ways to help that.  

Yeah, ive been looking here as well, and there's hardly anything available.  I was hoping to convert into a sports complex.

I don't know a ton, but I know a little.  Are you looking to build, or are you looking to buy?  I live in San Diego, which is by the border, but going to be a totally different thing than say North Dakota.  Zoning can be challenging for sure, and in CA at least the permitting process is a nightmare when building, so you will have to give yourself a big enough holding reserve.  I actually like Warehouse space.  Its easy to repurpose and relatively cheap to build compared to other types of commercial products.

Message me if you want contact info for a couple good local agents.

I've got a few agents I can recommend. If anyone wants.

@Jerry Stein

What I read, is that its your first Deal.  Understandably you want everything to go perfect.  I'd say, if its a base hit than take it.  Better to get in the game than stay on the sidelines.  I know so many people that have waited or never got in the game at all because of a couple percentage points.

I'm not saying that you should sign on for a losing deal, but it doesnt have to be a home run.  The traction you will get just from getting that first deal done is going to make you successful much faster than by waiting.  Good Luck Brother, and enjoy the ride.

@Melissa Aughavin

No, that's not a problem. My brother still builds houses there all the time, its more things like STR. The HOAs and covenants are either non existent in a lot of areas, or fairly Laxed compared to NOVA. Thats not to say all of them, but you should be able to ask a local agent, and they would know for sure.

Lived in Front Royal for 18 years and Warren County does not like progress.  Bought a lot of real estate there.  If 1 neighbor says anything, than you can kiss your project goodbye.  

@Christopher Anderson

I am a contractor in San Diego.  Happy to come and look at your project.  619-385-1031

@Brian Bakerman

I see you are selling these PreFab ADUs.  If what you are saying is true, now would be a good time to show everyone.  PreFab has been around a long time, and as a contractor I know PreFab gets a pretty bad rap.  I've had very limited experience, so I would be interested to hear if there is a case to be made.  Timelines, hidden cost, long term settling, cracks, utility hookups etc.
