We have three decades of our own operating data in several different markets to build projected NOI for this property,But we have not done a distressed physical rehab before.I have been given a price for the complex, and a price for the rehab, and a financing package from the bank which has taken the complex from its owner that includes funding for the rehab costs, and good LTV.The complex is operational but is over 40% vacant, and is the classic story of an owner who gradually drained their property, eventually lacking the money to do unit turns.What I would like to do is bring in an independent team to walk the property unit by unit and build out a detailed rehab budget - a team without the conflict of interest of being hired by the bank who owns the property, or being brought in by my existing management firm.Should I hire tradesmen with specific skills (electrical, drywall, plumbing, roofing, etc.) and pay them each a fee to walk the property?

@Michael Blank That is a classic tenant responsibility.

Classic limiting beliefs based on fear and lack of knowledge!

it’s back to the classic logic test.

Unless you are receiving ACTIVE deals & lead flow that materialize on a weekly basis from a "for-fee" networking group, drop them.Get your time back and re-purpose those efforts on connecting with NEW people that have a problem that you can help solve. 

Its a classic low-in-a-high play.

@Kimberly N.Oh man, the classic BP thread -- Airbnb vs.

Buffett is a big believe in it and pretty much amounts to "buy stuff cheap / on sale".Little Book of Common Sense Investing by Bogle is another classic.

I think it might be more "classic" and timeless, and certainly well-received by buyers and tenants alike..

If you have the wherewithal to build classic office warehouses do it.
