Consult a structural engineer for other material choices.

Identify high quality opportunities (homes with good foundations and structure that will last 30+ more years)4.

I come from a structural engineering background, and I find comfort in calculations--the numbers don't lie.I confidently bought my first BRRRR (small multifamily) within 6 months of finishing the book.

We translate all of the PM software data into their QBO(s) each month to show complete financials (property-specific & non-property specific transactions all in 1 software).The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

If anyone has done something similar, I'd like to get some insight on how the deal was structured.  

We've found it has superior reporting features, integration features, and is overall more efficient to work within than other REI-specific software.The downside is QBO is not set up for REI so you'll need to do that or work with an expert to ensure it is set up for your business appropriately.Something else to keep in mind is your entity structure and how your entities file tax returns.

But, you certainly can structure 100% leverage.Good luck! 

Lots of moving parts...and it's wonderful to be able to start with a blank canvas and design exactly what you want to build (as opposed to retrofitting based on the restrictions of an existing older structure).  

My question is what should I be considering as I think about the structure of our working relationship?

Structure your offer to make it the most beneficial for you as the purchaser.
