At the time of purchase, six out of the eight suites were rented.

| Purchase price of building | $4,000,000 |
| Legal fees | 7,000 |
| Property transfer fees | 24,000 |
| Painting of empty apartments | 5,000 |
| Advertising for empty apartments | 2,000 |
In addition, the previous owner of the apartment building paid Splish $11,000 for damage deposits from the existing tenants.
On December 31, 2017, the apartment building had a fair value of $4,191,000. On December 31, 2018, it was determined that the apartment building had a fair value of $3,991,000.
