Quote from @Ricardo Polanco: Good evening everyone, I am evaluating the possibility of buying a multifamily property in Scranton, at this moment it has 2 apartments that only need cosmetic repairs and it has a big 2nd floor unit that needs a full repair.

Some of The pros  there is that I see my money first, and then I pay out my 1099 employee. 

Understand how to "add value" to the property and evaluate cap rates, IRR, cash on cash returns. 

Creative ApproachesIf the organization is hesitant about a sale, consider proposing creative terms:Seller Financing: The non-profit could retain an income stream from the property by financing the purchase.Partnership or Lease-Purchase Agreement: Offer to lease the property with an option to buy, giving them time to evaluate the relationship.Donation or Support: Consider including a donation or offering support for their mission as part of the deal.

On the other hand, a detailed quote with a higher total may offer more transparency and reduce the risk of surprises as the project progresses.I specialize in consulting services for situations like this, where I help clients evaluate contractor quotes, ensure transparency, and navigate the renovation process with confidence.

Can waste a ton of time, money, and effort on this which could be used more effectively evaluating deals, strategies, and markets where you can find returns.Good luck and feel free to connect if you'd like to chat more about it! 

The main criteria to evaluate this is when did you complete the start-up phase and became actively engaged in business?
