It will be very exciting to hear from “veteran” searchers: did you experience unexpected upside (positive effect you did not took into account initially) in your investments? What was it? 
Thank you!!!

Negotiated acquiring the operating company, but ended up buying the holding company (for the same price of course) because the holding company had a high paid in capital which was partially used to repurchase the shares of the outgoing shareholder (the seller) that was basically a tax free withdrawal for the seller and partially stayed in the business for future share repurchases that will be tax free withdrawal for the new shareholders. The closing balance sheet also was much better than the initially set new acquiring company balance sheet.
