Zoning will support my plan, I've talked to permitting office and engineers who have given me the green light ( in theory)My END GOAL is to buy and hold this property Options:-I was planning to try to master lease with option to buy in 2 - 3 years for 350k ????

Right now I'm all in on trying to master the numbers game. 

My question is when you find a good CPA and you want to keep on your master mind team and have them work hard on your portfolio and let’s say their office charges x dollars is it common practice to give them a generous tip or am I crazy for thinking about taking that approach ?

It was gross and water was everywhere from master room, closet and living room. 

Can anyone provide insight on an average percentage split on profits for a master lease agreement on apartments?

So concept would be:- replace tenant meters with one master meter for the whole property- install solar on the roof- install submeters for tenants, and charge them the same as the PSEG rateYou have receiveables exposure to tenants, but then you get to collect RECs for solar and potentially save on the PSEG rate with a larger meter.It seems like the economics of this could be compelling since it would increase NOI significantly.Has anyone heard of this before?
