Hey mate,Welcome to the BP forum.You and @Jackelyn Lee are smarty pants heheI quit school at 14 and I'm a two finger pecker typer 🤓My team laughs at me for looking like a Teppanyaki chef throwing rice at someone when I type.Biggest message for you is to always keep the dream alive and to keep pushing forward.There are many unsophisticated folks out there like myself and I'll be cliche and say "if I can do it, anyone can" hehe.What one lacks in talent, has to make up with effort.I've only known one way and that is to put my head through the wall.Many others will just open the door and get to the other side lol.Not me tho ehhhYep, neck is always sore but we keep pushing forward...Wishing you much success with your real estate endeavors 🙏

I have seen some of these "Bookkeepers" who have a set price and then get VAs to do a lot of the work and they send pretty Excel financials over to make it look like they are great but they don't actually know the concepts and how it all flows together.

Since they are public numbers theres absolutely no protection for us from fraud.When submitting my accord for proof of insurance that goes directly from carrier to customer, not through my hands, unfortunately people have committed fraud with that number too.

I had to dig through a lot of public records to track that down.

And, even if you could find an appraiser to do an evaluation, it's not clear how that would help you.As you state, the motel has been shut down for nearly three years, so there's no current financial data.But even if you had recent numbers, you're planning to operate it as a sober living facility, which I suspect is a very different business model.You need to find a comparable facility in or near your local market and develop your own customized financial analysis model based upon this particular property.Then, given your business objectives (cash flow and cash-on-cash return, I assume), you'll need to back into what purchase terms you'll need to achieve those objectives.Only then will you be able to determine whether these seller financing terms will work.As far as documentation to get started, a letter of intent (LOI) is commonly used but you might move straight to a purchase and sale agreement, particularly if no agent is involved.Whichever path you choose, just be certain to give yourself plenty of time to thoroughly perform your due-diligence.

Ensure you have enough reserves for unexpected expenses, and understand the property's projected cash flow to avoid overleveraging. 

That will kill the cash flow.  

My cash flow was only $1200/month with my paid off rental.

I’ll reach out to you through PM with more details.

@Bonnie Low Thanks for taking the time to read through my summary.
