:D TC, thanks for making me triple-check my math. :) I'd like to talk to you about the properties you deal in sometime.

This is why government projects are always about triple what they should be.Short answer, no, don't tell him your budget, but that you'll take the best bid and will have lots of future work for the contractor who treats you right and that you always make timely payments. 

I see this all day where 1500 sqft bungalows become 3500 sqft mansions that double to triple in value.

One is to invest into commercial property leased to triple net tenants, with the advice of a skilled broker in the commercial space. 

We anticipate $150,000.00, which will include development of $50,000.00We are looking to put in an offer for the initial offering, plus the additional parcel they are willing to include, for $200,000.00, if they would be willing to enter into a long term triple net lease with a 5 year purchase clause for the $150,000.00 and annually at $150,000.00 plus appreciation retroactive over 5 years.I hope that is enough back story, as the advice I am requesting is what return on the NNN should I offer them?  

And, he's setting his purchase price, which determines the amount of the wholesale fee, on a deal where he's buying and keeping 100% of those profits, so triple...you get the idea.

Anything above that starts buckling of the roof due to weight and support issues.When you go to take that roof off in the 5 years you say expect to pay double to triple to replace of what a normal roof job is with the labor of ripping and hauling all of that off.

For instance if it's multifamily or retail with triple net leasing or a strip center I am all over it.

List of suggestions.1) Be familiar with the eviction process2) Observe Disp. court prior to even filing3) Follow proper eviction procedures for your jurisdiction and do not request more than you can reasonably expect.4) Double and triple check court time and location.5) Make required copies for all paperwork you are going to give to the judge.

Every bit helps and using a qualified individual that understand the technical and the physical and can also sustain the financial burden is a triple win!
