In the future I might like this to get something cheap with a cash offer and fix up as needed.Ideally I want to get equity as the person who finds the deal and puts it together, and in the interest of retaining a competitive advantage, perform improvements needed as a Cost-Plus arrangement where I can cover my Company's COGS and Overhead.

For example, how to have someone perform repairs to get it ready (without me being present), what to do with the furniture that's in there, etc, etc.
