On another partnership, I injected cash into as well.  

In percentages, you're injecting $6500 of $47,500 purchase, that's 13.5%.

Depending on location, what the foam is made out of (polyurethane is most common, I believe), other characteristics of the foam (R-value, whether it's water soluble, etc) and how difficult it is to install (are the cavities open or will the foam need to be injected through walls, etc) will determine the cost, but you're probably looking in the $2-5 per square foot (of cavity space) range.

There is no doubt that it can melt further and it is possible that 7500 will be seen as a goal to attain and not a baseline to maintain.Although the government-financial sector are creating more money out of thin air by the minute and lending this to people (called injecting "liquidity into the economy") , the people will have to be really stupid to go back into the debt trap by taki g the bait of easy credit.Even Obama realises that he has to find some other issue than the economy to maintain a positive media image, nuclear weapons.

Its pretty quick and slick if that works.Some jack using dirt mixed into a mud,,,YOU want a concrete jacker where they use mortar///concrete injected.

I also received an additional 200K in "heloc" in case building needed emergency injection of cash.

I won't go into the details, but doing so will preserve the overwhelming majority of the capital he injected into this deal.

It seems to me that a phone call to the intermediary getting them to talk to the tax prep person would be a logical first step vs posting the question to the forum and trying to inject yourself between two experts.Just my 2 cents.

Bear with me here:Raleigh population: 423,719 (local unemployment 3.6% = 407, 945 employed407,945 * $53,653 aver local salary = $21.9b total annual income of area50,000 AMZ jobs * 100,000 aver salary = $5b incremental annual income from AMZ$5b / $21.9b = 22.8% increase in annual income from AMZNow......I realize that not ALL of these 50,000 AMZ jobs will be injected into the Raleigh economy in one year, but if it takes two years, thats roughly an 11% increase and three years 7.6% (holding local area income stagnant over that time frame, which it wouldn't be)If you broaden the same calculations above to include all of Wake County, the numbers are obviously less impactful (8.5% annual increase in County-wide income in one year), but not immaterial IMO.Another simplistic way of looking at this is the average AMZ salary of $100k is almost twice that of the average Raleigh salary ($53k), so the argument could be made that that's almost like adding 7,500 jobs (as measured by purchasing power) to the local area.Again, I realize these are VERY simplistic arguments and it wouldn't take much to poke holes in it if you really want to parse it, but I do think it makes a solid case for it being a material impact on our local area here in RaleighThat said, I'm certainly not suggesting anyone invest here locally based on just that alone.

How do you initially figure the value of the property, determine amount of capital to inject and what to actually upgrade on the property, and then determine what the ARV is going to be?
