Fire marshall should have provided something in writing to you either a list of what needs to be done or reference a code.

I'm an independent agent here in AR and I write a lot of rental property, with ~6 preferred markets and if the properties have some issues, age, claim history etc.

I’d love your insights on how best to utilize my LLC in this process.

You start with a purchase and sale agreement and reduce everything to writing.

Well anyone can write anything into a contract, but whether it is legal and enforceable is for the courts to decide...It is State law here that a contractor must call 811 or they are liable for the costs.

Also, are they providing the LOI to sign or can you just write your own?

On the other hand, if you write something into the lease that you agree upon, it should be fine, but that may turn off many prospects IMO.

Plus, if you have experience in the field, you could/would/should want to write your own anyway, right?

There's some mis-information and mis-understanding of AP, the process and it's effect in this thread.

In an ideal scenario, it’s possible to complete the process in about three months—especially if the rehab is minor, you have your financing lined up, and the property rents quickly.
