Same basic structure they asking price is a suggestion, I offer what I think is a workable number for me and we negotiate to the "middle";  though the middle is not halfway, we never "split the difference". 

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

Being a rundown property, was often overlooked due to its unappealing exterior, nicknamed the Ugly Duckling.Renovation ApproachFocused on cosmetic changes rather than structural alterations.

Is there another way to structure the deal with all 3 of us?

Heck, I had a pool replastered for $3,700 including chemicals/setup. 

If anyone has information re: fannie mae freddie mac NOT lending on this type of property structure please post.  

Most structures that were not built correctly sustained damage, but I would venture to say the % is very low. 

The biggest cost variables are structural surprises, electrical/plumbing overhauls, and environmental hazards (asbestos, lead, etc.).

Within Philadelphia, a two-family home at 123 Main Street, unit A completely gutted, renovated, zero lead-paint within the unit and unit B still having positive components of lead-paint, unit A would not be considered Lead-Free because it is a part of the structural being of unit B.

Structuring a joint venture (JV) or equity partnership can make the deal appealing by offering a share of cash flow and appreciation.
