Then the another question pops out , why should I pay for the owners bad balance record keeping???

We are under contract to sell it and supposed to close last week but the city will only issue a 2 DU cert because they "have no record of permits to convert the storefront into a residential coach house"We did a FOIA on the water records which came back with nothing, we are still waiting for the FOIA on the permit records but don't think it will give us anything because we talked to the seller from 1986 and he said the coach house was a storefront when they sold it. 

Understanding the requirements will streamline the inspection process and make it easier when the time comes.Remember to keep organized records of all communications and documents related to the program.

It can also simplify record-keeping in case of an IRS audit.That said, you can technically pay property-related expenses from your personal account, but separating the accounts will help keep your finances more organized and clearer for both you and your CPA.

There was an issue with them and I am still waiting for that to resolve - but it’s in the works.The state where the relinquished property was, as of this writing, still has not recorded the deed - 2 months now after closing the county is dragging this out. 

For the record I have done some small learning programs in the $50-200 range that have been very good.

The problem is that many sellers keep terrible records or lie. 

Keep detailed records of all expenses.As for tax professional recommendations in Cleveland: As accountants, we are not allowed to promote our services as it is against BP rules.

Make sure every phone call with your brokerage is recorded (two party calls only or make notification of recordings if more than two parties involved) and every email and text is saved.

Then I would say that the main challenge for you will be finding trustworthy, experienced operators who are going to give you repeat business and who have a track record of successful project executions.
