Purchase price: $2,800,000 Cash invested: $560,000 The property is a three-story multi-family residential building with six independent units, initially facing significant challenges due to poor conditions.Renovation Investment Summary:- **Structural Repairs:** $250,000- **Kitchen Modernization:** $100,000- **Bathroom Updates:** $50,000- **Exterior Improvements:** $100,000- **Holding Costs:** $50,000- **Property Taxes:** $30,000- **Insurance Costs:** $10,000- **Management Services:** $10,000
