•  We'll be working through an interactive exercise to determine the feasibility of Opportunity Type #1 which is an existing commercial building with potential to covert its use.

11:00 - 12:00 - Session 3: Deal Analysis - Income Property for Additional Density (60 mins)

•  We'll be working through an interactive exercise to determine the feasibility of Opportunity Type #2 which is an existing income property with potential for additional units.

12:00 - 1:00 - LUNCH 

1:00 - 2:00 - Session 4: Deal Analysis - Ground Up Construction w/ Surface Parking (60 Mins)
