This specific deal was a close friend's apartment that he was renting.

thanks for your time and help rent to retirement works directly with build to rent developers like us around the country once they are framed up. you are buying properties pretty much at market value but with a hand holding. you can work directly with a builder or directly with them. they are just an intermediary. they take 5% on what we make as a builder but have a large list of investors and a systemized approach to selling new builds. if you want to get a better deal I'd recommend directly contacting builders and building it yourself. fly to the market. spend 2 days, tour new builds, get a feeling for how it's going. if your builder isn't building multiple at a time then I wouldn't recommend working with them. rent to retirement is a well oiled and well run machine. they've had their ups and downs with dozens of transactions in florida but modified their process. they are well known and established and transparent. if you have a more specific market and feel confident in your ability to vet deals try it out. happy to talk more my info is in my signature. we work directly with them to sell new builds and no organization is perfect but I have good things to say about them as a builder and potential build to rent developer that sells build to rent triplexes and single family homes through them to end buyers in California like the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego 

Specific example,  I tell all my owners that any minor repair less than $150, i will fix for free.   

Responses like this are good for me because I am pretty uneducated on things like specific loans or qualifying requirements.

You might consider other strategies, like taking a home equity loan or refinancing to fund repairs, but consulting with a tax professional or CPA would be the best next step for your specific situation. 

I would be much more specific on pricing.

@David Oh you can either offer a bonus based upon specific KPIs or based upon profitability.

The only information I had to go on was with the last Lender informed me so maybe it was specific to the company they were with.

Quote from @Christian Styles: Potentially able to help you find someone but I would need to know specifically where the property is in order to know who to recommend.  

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help!
