what would you charge?

I have a 1972 ranch home that has been converted into 4 seperate units. 2 upstairs and 2 in the basement. each unit has 1 bd, 1bth, livingroom and a kitchen.

How would you quote this and why?

This is my first multi-unit.

thanks P

At first thought, I'd rate it as a 4-Plex, since you mentioned its been broken up into 4 units. But...
Are the units "condos", or apartments?
And do they each have their own HVAC/Electricals? or a shared utilities?
All that would factor in to how I would have to inspect, and how much I'd have to inspect...

[sspradling]

What's the square footage? How many HVAC units? How many electric panels? How much time to inspect and how easy is access to all units? Are they occupied or vacant? I consider all these factors before I would quote a price.

the listing states that the sqft 900 up and 700 down. I would have to assume that the utilities are shared or included. They are apartments.

[Steven C. Waskewicz]

Lets see, 700 + 900 = 1600 sq.ft. and you did say this was a 1972 built home, correct?
If a single HVAC and Water Heater for the whole place,
then about $400 ought to cover it.
If more than a single of each, then another $50 per item, for about $500 for the building.
But thats just me...

700 & 900 sf each unit?... otherwise that would seem tiny to get two units out of 700 sf... assuming 3200 sf total and i would try to get some more info if not a look at the property, but i could imagine our fee would be in the 499-549 range...

$475.00 with Termite inspection
