Find one that adds value.

I have been interested in investing in US real estate for quite some time and have spent the summer reading books and getting a bit more familiar with it all.

It can be difficult to find a lender that does them on investment properties, but they are out there.

My team and I are wholesalers who focus on finding rent-ready properties under 100k (typically in popular section 8 regions).

Start by reading the Ultimate Real Estate Investing Guide: https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides/ultimate-real-estate-investing-guide/introduction2.

There is one business in particular that has been very tempting to try and acquire, but I am not sure the next steps to actually go about doing it.Questions like: Confirming it qualifies for commercial real estate loans (SBA), what type of network (brokers/lawyers/etc) would be needed to appraise and finalize a deal, and where to look for that network.

What you pay with labor will depend on if for instance one of my units still has a good pad and tack and strip then I just pay for carpet and installation cost.What you will pay will also depend on how much you are installing at one time.I don't like Berber for rentals.The design of the loop once it starts unraveling it can unwind pretty good an dis harder to get certain stains and pet stuff out of it.With carpet you want a Nylon carpet even if the cheaper version.Some carpet guys will try to sell you the rubber composite carpet stuff which is the really cheap stuff so it will stand up to tenant abuse.The problem is it can only be cleaned usually up to one time and then you need to replace it again.So I would rather get a cheaper nylon that can be re-cleaned many times over after installation for an additional .10 to .15 a sq ft extra than the super cheap stuff I will have to replace again.If you get 1 sq ft for carpet,pad,tack and strip,and labor install and it is Nylon you are getting one heck of a deal.Even at a carpet place usually you are at .40 to .50 for the pad and .50 to .60 for a cheap carpet.Then you have to do material to install and labor.I have seen sometimes if you have to do a small area you can pick up quality remnant pieces for real cheap and hit that type of number or buy in bulk.

Finding out that within the "Historic Core" zone, special use application is available to fill out and must be submitted for approval.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I want to get more into real estate and want to start  BRRRing with new build single and multi family dwellings and I'm needing some guidance with some of the financials of it.
