This is ultimately up to you and you could structure it several different ways (consultation fees, price per lead, monthly fee, success based fee, equity in the deal, etc) but your price should be enough to do the following: 1. cover the cost of your labor, time and any expenses incurred2. create a profit for you and your employees3. be competitive in the marketplaces with similar service providers

Everything is negotiable, you don't have to pay the full purchase price (though they may not accept your offer if you don't) Like real estate, there are many ways you could structure a business acquisition through a mix of equity and debt.

I'm assuming you have pulled permits and got a crew in to frame out the structure.

Stucco scares me as I assume it's hiding significant masonry and/or structural issues. 

That said, we usually look for a detached garage, shop, shed or other structure that can be converted to an ADU.

I got screwed by an angry contractor who knocked a portion of the structure down.

How would our partnership structure a loan repayment for a property in which was purchased but needs the loan for renovations?

You might be able to get away with a covered structure (like a carport) that is not enclosed.
