Better quality product, better installation, and making relationships is invaluable if you plan to scale.

It's a very desirable area, and it's a good property, but I think a few quality of life things are holding it back.

If that's not the case and the GC still requires 1/3 payment up front,  it means they have other projects that are suffering or lack quality subcontract relationships and can't place them on net 30's and when contractors are moving money around to cover for other projects,  that's a slippery slope. 

Good afternoon allJust for general discussion.....and I know there is a lot of information not given....I was discussing with several colleagues at a recent investor meet up, on their thoughts on best practice/method to acquire another property management company in our geographic location.We were approached by another management company who's owner wanted to retire and presented us with an offer.Original discussions with the other management company(seller) had them wanting a one time payout, say $100,000.

Hi Patty - it depends on type of accounting method you use. if you are using cash method accounting, you can capitalize and claim in 2024.If you follow accrual basis, you record in a year when service is completed.Hope it clarifies.

@Alex Lickenbrock If your young family needs schools and you don't want to pay for private, you may want to consider the suburbs (and there is a range of school/suburb quality as well). 

That might sound good, but keep in mind that quantity doesn’t always equal quality.
