This is how to generate great returns in today's market while protecting your downside. Acquire an income producing duplex (1 Bedroom/1 Bathroom each side) with additional development capacity (the right to build 8 more units) in Fort Lauderdale's rapidly developing Studio City at over 40% below market value. This property should not be viewed solely as a duplex or solely as a land play; the true value is in both. The existing duplex (that is fairly renovated and has separate water & electric meters) can remain in place and continue generating income while 8 additional units are developed on the same lot, for a total of 10 units, without tearing down the current structure. The included site plan shows viable layout, parking, & access. A preliminary development meeting has been held with the city; representatives from every relevant department (planning, zoning, engineering, landscape, etc) were present and confirmed that the site plan is feasible and compliant with current code and zoning regulations.
