Hi BP,

 I'm looking into several land deal (one even a potential tear down) and I'm struggling with estimating building costs. What are some common price per square foot estimates in the pnw. Obviously I would due my own due diligence on any numbers. 
lastly, what to expect during the permitting process? Costs? Timeline? 

What are some creative ways to get around septic challenges? For example, target properties in prestige rural area can only be so big due to septic requirements 

What are for ways to structure multiple partners on a investment property? I understand giving equity but how would you go about providing monthly (or other time periods) returns on a partners invested capital?

Its technically zoned single fam/center ("full range of residential use")

I’ve recently come across an off-market single family home that has been modified into a triplex with 3 separate floors as units. On paper it roughly pencils out at the owners asking price of 850k. However, it is not permitted and would have to be sold as a single family home 3 bd 1 bth 1000 sq/ft instead of multi family 6 bd ~3 bth 2900 sq/ft.

The other single family homes on this block are roughly 600k each. While I would be getting a deal on this “tri-plex” I am very hesitant to pay so much for this as it is legally a single family home. Furthermore, could the city ever come in and make me shut some of the units down? Also, how would I go about funding this since there’s no way it would appraise anywhere near the purchase price.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi BP,

I’ve got a mixed use property I’m looking at that has zero Comps. Because it’s commercial on the bottom and mixed use on top, I’ve got nothing to compare it to. Any tips?

Thanks

Hi BP,

A deal that I'm currently working on has the potential of involving 2 separate partners, not including myself. One partner would front cash for renovation, and the other would front the down payment. What are some creative ways of structuring an equity split between the three of us. Thanks
