Mixed Use Property Due Diligence - Feedback Requested
Hello BP Community:
I would appreciate your help in evaluating a property for buy and hold potential. Here is the background:
- Sales price $575,000, building square feet 1,719/land square feet 5,762
- Taxes are $3,204.07
- Property consist of commerical store front with attached rear residence and detached 2 studio units. (2 buildings total)
- Permit history of the rear residence and detached studios are unknown and requires further research.
- County assessors office shows the property use type as commercial and buiding square feet at 1,113.
- Store front building was used as a bridal studio and owner lived in the attached residence. (she is now sick and needs to sell)
- Studios are being rented to family members who are paying well below market value.
- The property will be delivered vacant upon the final sale of the property.
I am looking for suggestions on how to: 1) evaluate this property for cash flow potential; and 2) steps to take to conduct a thorough due diligence on this mixed use property. I just want to make sure that I am not overlooking anything. Thank you.
