Assisted Living Facility
Hello Guys, I had few questions that I was wondering if I could get answers to. I currently am running a RCFE (Boarding Care/ Assisted Living) facility in Moreno Valley for 6 beds. I am looking to buy a second one. This will actually be my first time home buying. I am working with an agent that has shown me the house that I like. We are going to put an offer tomorrow. House is 2007 Built, and is going for 309K. We are going to start our offer from 300K. I ran the comps, and the house is appraised at 309K. Should I start my offer much lower? I was told that I should also ask my agent for commission as I am helping her with this property. Is this ethical, and if so, how much should I ask for?
Secondly, does anyone know if we can get funding or grants from the govt for opening such facility, as it would help the elderly population (yes it is a business too)? House looks in great condition, other than inspection, what other aspects I should be concerned about since this would be my first time buying the house. Thank You
