Is your business Operating as you want it to be ?

I'd try to contact some trade services that do large construction projects, but are more of a ma and pa based operation.

San FranciscoI spoke with several brokers in the SF market and got the impression that SF operates differently than the rest of the Valley.

My understanding is that multi-family real estate with up to and including 4 units is valued the same way Single Family Residences are, using comparable properties in the neighborhood.For multifamily apartments with 5 units or more, use this formula: Income - expenses = Net Operating Income (NOI). 

You may want to speak with the condo association and find out if the tenants are behind on their HOA dues and if the units are operating at a profit.  

The figures are as follows:Asking Price: 120k (will be brought down)Net Operating income - $20,088.00Total expenses - $10,201.96 (maintenance still to be given)Downpayment 10% = 12,000Less 5% Loan - 6,957.24NOI: $3,244.72 - a 27.04% return at $271.12 cashflow a month.
