Kenneth, I reviewed five side by side vacant lots on in Cleveland Ohio my home town. Each parcel measures 40 feet by 120 feet with about 4,800 square feet of area, or 0.11 acres per lot. Zoning reads R2, which aligns with Cleveland 2F residential standards. I assumed Height District 1 with a 35 foot maximum. Ownership breaks out as follows. One parcel sits under private ownership. I plan to send a purchase inquiry to that owner. The remaining four parcels sit with the City Land Bank. I am already in contact with the Land Bank to confirm pricing and acquisition terms for all four. Based on Title VII residential use standards, the only by-right residential option beyond a single-family home is a duplex. Each lot supports one duplex by right, which equals two dwelling units per lot. By-right yield across the site breaks out as: One lot supports one duplex with two units. Five lots support five duplexes with ten total units. Any program above two units per lot, including triplexes, fourplexes, or a larger multifamily structure, triggers a zoning change or discretionary approval path. Those options do not qualify as clean by-right development. Baseline 2F development standards assumed for feasibility include: Front setback around 20 feet. Rear setback around 30 feet. Side setbacks around 5 feet each. Buildable width around 30 feet. Buildable depth around 70 feet. Maximum height at 35 feet. This envelope supports efficient layouts such as a side-by-side duplex or a stacked up and down duplex.

The reasons for my absence and getting started I went through back to back personal and professional loss in a five month period, and I became homeless unfortunately living out of my vehicle during that time. My former fiancé had been undergoing heart surgery. The death of my father, my cousin Danny and my cousin Clifford.Coupled with the loss of my job felt like being in the ring with Mike Tyson with no gloves. Each loss came one after another, without pause. However, i’m still here and I chose to keep moving forward with purpose and intention.

This group is about being tactical not just strategic. We will stop the analysis paralysis!! I will share my deals that are active or that are in my pipeline. You will have opportunities to collaborate and make it on to your first deal. I don't want anyone to be here just to watch others make moves. Introduce yourself to the community and be honest about why you have not started till now and why you think you have failed to launch. EVERYONE PUT THIS INTO THE UNUVERSE!!!! If you have done a development deal and you are trying to grow speak on why you have not. WE WILL ATTACK OUR WEAKNESSES NOT IGNORE THEM!!
