Will have to do some thinking and discussing on how to structure that. 

Building structures isn't the only way to add value.

They were built back in the 1950's, but very structurally sound (most things were built better back then anyway IMO).

With a duplex it gets into a more structured management process with maintenance and workorders.

My offer structure (2 options I'm working on): Cash-offer: Offer: $100k above asking price plus $6700 escalation for up to $125K above asking price Earnest money: $200K fully released 2 days after acceptance Closing: 10 days Wave: Inspection, Appraisal, Title and Financing contingencies.

I have learned to work on the safety items first including electrical, necessary structural, Roof leaks, water system leaks etc.

There are some but you have to be careful as the smaller tenant can have outdated warehouses with functionality and structure.

Hope that offers some insight into setup and structuring...Cheers!

@Peter Kozlowski If you know the market and know how to structure a strong offer, then you certainly can go without a buyers agent. 

Debt is taken OUT of this calculation because it would be nearly impossible to compare different properties with different debt structures.
