But, it could also be the heating system was undersized for the structure when it was last replaced.

Cost reductions by predictive failure analysis of the systems and structures.

Hello all,

I've raised enough private money to buy properties with the goal of rehabbing and reselling. Depending on the details of each house, interest on the PM will be anywhere from 8-12%.

I recently...

The rent is hardly increased by volume (offset by heating in any case), only living space really counts.A mezzanine would sound attractive, but there are building restrictions and I fear the structure won't support them.

To better frame the question - I was thinking of structuring a deal by using a land trust.

You say 'I've raised enough private money to buy properties...' but the structure of the acquisition, and the entity(ies) to hold these future acquisitions, are not defined.

Looking for advice on if there could be a deal and how to structure or if maybe better to refer to someone else and collect a finders fee or refer it to a company that does an estate sale.Also, the Seller is asking for moving expense only and they owe ~$70k in back taxes.

I have finally come across a property that I believe will be a great first investment property and I would like to share my analysis and thoughts to get some feedback and guidance in how to make an offer as well as best way to structure my financing (30 yr fixed, 15 yr fixed, etc.).

There is a real possibility that the value of this property is the value of the land, less the cost to raze the existing structure plus any possible resale value of the equipment.If there is demand for a restaurant, it might be worth more to the right person.If the building can be reconfigured for some other user that might add some value, too.

I don't mess with major structural issues/foundation problems, just cosmetic stuff so the rehab budget stays low.
