Negotiation Skills: Whether it’s negotiating leases, handling vendor contracts, or resolving disputes, strong negotiation skills can make a significant difference in operational efficiency and cost savings.In my experience, a property manager who excels in these areas not only helps protect your investment but also maximizes its profitability.

I've got a $1M in equity in my current home that I also plan to free up if I have success with the previous set of capital. 

Feel free to reach out with any financing questions.

Would love to chat - feel free to reach out!

Wow 2.25% for 15 years.Can't believe this was even offered in the first place.Actually free money...If you're breaking even, I likely would just keep holding it.

Any advice on how to make this process as stress-free as possible, would be greatly appreciated!

And best part, it doesn't cost you a dime in interest, right.

Here’s the situation:Key Project Details:•Property Size (pre-renovation): 250 sq. meters (2500 sq. feet)•Purchase Price: 250,000 EUR (1,000 EUR/sq. meter)•Renovation Costs: 750 EUR/sq. meter (includes kitchen, appliances, quality furnishings)• Loan costs (during renovation and renting): 350 sq. meters (due to attic expansion)•Property Size (post-renovation): 350 sq. meters (due to attic expansion)•Post-Renovation Layout: 2 separate apartments•Airbnb Income (24 months): 2,500 EUR/month/apartment (= 5,000 EUR/month)• Other running costs: 600 EUR/month•Projected Sale Price (after 2-3 years): 850,000 EUR (approx. 2,500 EUR/sq. meter)•Closing Costs: Negligible in Tbilisi•Real Estate Agent’s Fee: Typically 3%, but negotiable based on who hires themFinancing Setup:•Property Purchase Financing: 100% bank financing at 5.9% interest (bank has even financed 150% to cover some renovation costs in the past)•Renovation Financing: Our friend is offering to finance 250,000 EUR in cash for the renovationsProposed Partnership Structure:•Work Involved (on our side): Full renovation (10-12 months to complete), furnishing, and property management through Airbnb until the sale (2-3 years)•Profit Split Proposal: 60% (us) / 40% (friend providing renovation financing)Questions for the Community:1.Does the proposed profit split (60/40) seem fair, given the work we would handle (renovation, furnishing, property management)?

@Devon Moore yikes, that is a bold move to not allow a free trial or testing on there part.

Typically I would account for the cost to turn a unit into the expense line items.
