This group generally cannot work from home so many/majority of them have been dependent upon the PPP which dried up several months ago.

Then dry out the space, make repairs, and clean.

But now I'm thinking about it, I wonder if it would help protect against me owing all the mortgage if the deal goes bad and my partner leaves me dry. 

So far, I’ve purchased $12,400 worth of wood (2X6X16 DRY, 2X10X14 DRY, 4x8x3/4 OSB T&G, 2X10X20 DRY, etc…)Looking at the labor costs my contractor is charging to stabilize the building, the financial figure is quite concerning.

We’ll definitely have some skin in the game.Any recommendations on viable routes for us to take?

Some will put in new appliances and paint the place up to look nice, but they covered up things like dry rot, old knob and tube wiring, and rusty galvanized pipes.

You'll need to spray the cleaners and soak everything so it can get into crack and crevices where the urine may be and keep them moist if possible because the enzymes are destroyed by drying out.

I've been wondering the same thing for western Canada (AB/BC/SK).  In

If you know any Generals that you can equity partner on a deal with that could be the best way, giving them skin in the game to motivate them to be on time and on budget.

My suggestion would be to answer, when applicable, newbie posts since you now have some skin in the game.
