We had to throw away many items stored down there due to mold growth.

Well Since @Mike Dymski responded let me give you just one item.. 

Syndicators who brag about their instagram lifestyles without a big old pile of exits... probably bought that lifestyle with their investor's money, whether Ponzi scheme or exorbitant acquisition/management fees.That... or selling high ticket coaching items on the power of real estate.

We will use appraised market rents in both of those scenarios.Typical target closing timeline is four weeks from appraisal payment. 10-14 days for upfront processing and all third-party items to be returned like appraisal, title, and insurance; 10-14 days allocated for underwriting and closing. 

Additionally, it should allow the property manager to remotely open the garage door for receiving items when there are no guests on the property.

I might be tempted to walk my butt into the owner's office -- does that LOOK like a place the owner spends 70 hours a week (lots of personal items on the walls?

Most equate forming an entity to asset protection, but completely ignore the action items  that should be done on a daily basis that actually protects against the claims from arising.

Some items to be aware of include, but not limited to:  zoning in County may conflict with the City, utilities that belong to the City infrastructure may require that you annex the property prior to rezoning or other entitlement, County development standards may be different or less stringent than City standards which would cause the development to be non-compliant when annexed.I would echo the same as Bryant Brislin, you will definitely want to connect with someone that can navigate this process for you. 

I did ask about short sale and they said they would need to see a HUD statement and purchase agreement to do that but I was confused how I would generate those two items without an agreement from Kiavi on the short sale amount? 

Sewer scopes are a MUST do item when buying an older home unless you can see clearly the line has been replaced with PVC..
