One thing thats attractive about owning a property in California is that we are not obligated to pay maintenance to a coop which eats from the cashflow, however, that said we realize there will be maintenance expenses associated with owning any property.]7.When considering your ROI in selling your co-op, also keep in mind that in NYC, you, as seller, will likely have to pay NYC and NYS transfer tax (buyer would likely pay "Mansion Tax" if the sale price is $1M, but everything is negotiable).

That would put undue stress on your tenants trying to pay you and the former landlord coming after them for back amounts owed.Sometimes when a seller is owed money they just eat it and you start anew with the tenants.

Looking to add value to seasoned and green whole sellers.

Was there any talk of making this a 'green' project (zero energy), or anything along those lines?

The only cost will be buying a cup of coffee and/or something to eat to help support the coffee house where the meeting is held.

Seems like if you can deliver something close to 200k, people in Denver will eat it up. 

You sound very green as a buyer but it's good you are asking questions.

You mention living in an ADU for a period of time which, not knowing the property, will eat in to cash flow potential. 

@Jonathan Greene very solid points, so many properties that are "half-done" and find it hard to truly ever be done because of the issues in certain locations.

I began listening to David Greene and Brandon Turner and was hooked.
