A thread on creating $250k in boring biz cash flow: (WARNING - no NFTs were used in the creating of this deal

Got the property through a broker referral. ( @BizBuySell)
Followed up to get the financials.
Financials looked good (aka clean and profitable)
Both locations bringing in 46k gross and approx $23k net.

Arranged a visit to walk the properties.
No branding. Terrible flooring & green paint jobhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤢" title="Angewidertes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Angewidertes Gesicht">.
Hardly any marketing.
Absentee owner.
No credit card.
No drop-off services.
No website = GOLD.
Lots of room for improvement... Start getting excited.

Asking price $1,250,000
Meh - no thx.
COVID headwinds, another location being remodeled nearby, the seller being absentee, they had some wiggle room.
He put in an offer at $900,000
Seller to carry 50% at 5% for 8 years (read that again)

Terms: $975k (pending DD)
Raised the rest of the capital from investors for the ~50% equity.
Ran the due diligence. Sat and counted coins (riveting)
Financial analysis aka checked w/the tax man on their filings
Turns out they didn& #39;t lie. So we signed on the dotted line.

DD = ways to bring the price down & make sure no shenanigans.
Countered to $900k again. (Old equipment, more repairs)
The seller countered to $925,000. Yup! BOUGHT.

Here& #39;s the financial skinny:
Private capital = $575,000 (extra $100k for renovations and start up costs)
Seller = $450,000
Final purchase price = $925,000
His own $25k. That& #39;s it.

Projections for year 1:
$550,000 = gross
$270,000 = expenses
$280,000 = NOI (~30%)
$68,328 = interest and principal
$211,672 = cash flow
$550,000 = gross
$270,000 = expenses
$280,000 = NOI (~30%)
$68,328 = interest and principal
$211,672 = cash flow
The plan is to hold for 3-5 years. Implement the take-over strategy. Seek out options to refinance to take out the seller finance and return a portion of the investor capital.
Then hold long-term for cash flow
