If I still had the hotel now...The bank would own it.  

I also let him know that I would need 3 months of bank statements showing deposits going into his account from the business.

I have no idea why (never had a single fraud issue), but after spending several hours going down the rabbithole of figuring why this happened, we just want a solution.Some of the other banks we are with seem to make it overly complicated to have more than a single account.Any recos?

We understand that we'll need to use a local bank to obtain non-conventional financing as well as putting more than customary down.   

Say we buy a property for $1 million, but we structure it so it's 0% down but a bank/note buyer is in place at closing to buy the note from the seller at 80% value so they walk away with 800k in cash. 

This allows me to get into a great property and leave the bank out.

just be thankful you can get one at all. most banks simply dont offer these.

There is more time invested but totally worth it for the increased cash flowHi - what bank did you get your lending from? 

The reason I ask is that depending on what financing option you utilize, if that bank requires you to close in an LLC then the 1031 exchange may not work.
