If so- what would you rate your work effort (not afraid of work), and the time to close a first deal?

What our clients generally do is take the average gas billing for the year while occupied. give themselves a little wiggle room,  and build it into the rent as a flat rate, similar to water or electric with a single entrance. 

I understand the standard rate in the USVI is 6% but believe I should be able to negotiate down based on the expected sale price.

Unfortunately, weekday bookings, particularly off season, are mostly rate driven.  

Especially since I’m already the one choosing rates/terms. 

Interest rates are relatively high, so I think commercial property owners that can't refinance or are hesitant to acquire a property can still use cost seg for accelerated depreciation.

I was questioning how much to offer in down payment, interest rates and terms. 

Let's assume a 3% appreciation rate per year on that.

Their online reviews on google seem great and everything is 5 stars but I promise you the team is terrible.

You will have to verify those yourselves to ensure you end up with correct operating expenses.Quote from @Andrew Newcomb: Just following up on this in case anyone is still following:I learned about "cap rate" and "cash on cash" metrics in the BP learning articles and watched a couple vids on the BP rental calculator showing how it calcs those metrics for a prop (you have to add the details like loan info, expenses, etc). very cool tool.
