The way I have been determining the value of a the property, to me, is that I have been using the a slightly less draconian version of the metrics that Brandon Turner puts out for multifamily properties (which is all i am looking for here.)

Hi Jason,You will need- Commercial Activity License / BIRT- Complete a lead safety inspection and upload once results are in and satisfactory -U&O- Up to date deed with your name (I assume your deed shows your name on the property already as it was your primary)- Make sure there are no open violations on atlas-Then you will have to have them review and you should have them sign all the paperwork like ‘Partners for good housing’ (there is a new version for 2022)/lead saftey/etc.Happy to talk in more details and more information below:https://www.phila.gov/services...And older but great post: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...

If so, how if all he has is his own version of what happened?

There are You Tube videos on the full version and the free app.

I'm sure you could find a lender to qualify for some amount/version of an SBA loan, but before doing that, I think you really need to justify /validate that taking a loan to grow your business is the right decision.

I currently use REIsimple which is a version of freedom soft. 

Looks like I’ll have to get the Pro version to get unlimited access to the calculator.

city of Portlandia did this with the Pearl district 10 year tax abatements.. started about 2005. there are probably 10 thousand new condos units built over that time through multiple glass buildings.. numerous resturants and shops etc.. totally transformed the area.now Portlandias version of crappy Ghetto is nothing like what you see out east.. just more like tired run down..

., and 3) Have it be able to handle both traditional and creative financing.II would love to hear from others who have done this and would be open to sharing my current version.

With that, it does not by any means imply that the current methods, percentages, fees, contracts etc. are the very best version to reduce/lower the misalignments to a smaller delta than the current status-quo.
