I’m less concerned about the small items, and I focus on where big costs surprises can come up (new sewer lines, breaker upgrades, galvanized piping, etc) so I can re-trade my offer appropriately.

Ideally I keep the relationship with the utility companies and then the tenants pay me their split.My two concerns though are that this is not legal and that tenants wouldn't be willing to do this sort of ad hoc split.

It's concerning that Bigger Pockets admins continue to leave all of Matt Motil's classified ads here on BP where he was fishing for victims for his Ponzi Scheme.https://www.biggerpockets.com/posts/user/mattmotil https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-196

My concern was small single person businesses are subject to robberies which occurred frequently in the area in the early 1980's.The building was built in 1890 and NYC established building codes in the 1920's, and someone owned it all the while passed and my dad offered to purchase it but was beaten to it by a flipper who got it for $23K, and he bought it from the flipper for $25K.

At that rate the investments cashflow nicely.One big concern in this model that some investors are still being talked into funding ground up construction.
