This is one way that doing a wholesale double close differs in California, as opposed to other parts of the country.As far as Disclosure, I believe that Disclosure is required, but it is up to each agency whether or not the amount of the profit must be disclosed.

IMO those problems are much larger in proportion to the size of community.

Conyers is an area with a lot of available land for building so mostly larger builders(over 300 homes a year) dominate.

What im looking for is an industry standard or guide for multi family unit's net profit after all expenses including debt services.

I already know the taxes for both properties and I have called the utility companies to get a round about number for utilities, but I wasn't sure if there is a specific document that may give me a comprehensive overview of the profits and losses for the current owner.
