Don't worry about losing.That is likely not the only reason you are losing.We use this language for our clients, "Buyers agree to limit inspection repair requests to major structural, mechanical, plumbing, environmental, and safety issues."

You would be putting too much risk on a new area that may or may not work.A 4-unit property has 4 furnaces so you could have 4x the cap ex as a single-family on mechanicals.

It seems to be in good shape, with updated electrical, mechanicals, and roo.

Overall, I think you'll need a way to pull out a few hundred thousand via what I mentioned above or another mechanism.

If you are going to purchase materials as a cost saving mechanism, remember the project will perform best if both the owner and GC turn a profit.

There are a few temp fixes that still range in the $5000 range. 2. now add the furnace, garage door (not opener, but actual door mechanisms), front door that all will need to be replaced in next few years. 3. the gutters that need replaced now (ours are too small and its causing major overflow), and the flooring that needs replaced prior to renting it out. 

This is because it was poorly converted, improperly done, "patched up" over time, and might have mixed up mechanicals etc.

.- Evaluate all major systems (mechanical, electrical, roof, plumbing, foundation, etc).

  :)  I suggest you join the local REIAs though, one of the smartest things you'll do.Beset of luck, curtHow do you manage having mechanical contractors pull their own permits and not have a general permit pulled?  

It is equipped with the following: - Office - 2 mechanic bays with lifts - 1 bay for mobile detailing  - Car lot for 70 cars Lot of ideas go through my head but figured i would reach out to the BP community.
