My first thought was that it could be some sort of a stash house.

Also, in part of my tenant screening, I want to make sure they have some money stashed away, which is why I ask how much they have in the bank, etc when applying. 

cities got burned on those.. developer gets place approved but never follows through the cities generally wont go after the bond and it just sits there I have bought 2 failed projects that were like this.. the bond is a joke really.

I smile as you are describing what is popularly known as "joker brokers" - the seemingly endless line of in-betweens who all claiming to have direct access to funds or product ownership.  

We did accents and smalls from our own stash of extras. 

However, if you have huge money stashed somewhere, please have fun spending for their merchants account awaits you endlessly.The Boot Camp is great time to spend and spend and spend.

So, should I take my little stash and start out of state with a turnkey company or a BRRR in the Bronx?

I'd keep getting educated while stashing away as much money as possible each month and wait for a market correction.  

The lender will use this data to conduct an analysis of how much money needs to be stashed in an account to replace the stuff that the lender thinks that you will have to replace during the life of the loan.

Have a good stash of cash (not stocks, not bonds) to do deals if the banks are not lending and the market is crashing.
