Since it is likely your purchase is legal non-conforming with respect to current building codes, any insurance needs to covers reconstruction of the structure to current codes - some policies consider code-related improvements as enhancements to the existing building.I would also closely check the co-insurance provisions, loss of rents limits ($ and time), boiler coverage and general liability caps.A good commercial insurance broker can really help assess the specific risks and you may be able to loop in your other properties under the same general liability coverage if you consolidate with one carrier.

Although its not complete I think pictures along with video footage of the properties will enhance to value of what I'm offering.

At any point I can create an "accountant's copy" of my QB, send it to my CPA via email, he can massage anything that looks out of sorts, send the changed copy back to me by email, and then I can get those changes into my QB.In Quickbooks, I generate my Jan 1 reports to see who gets sent a 1099 (I pick up 1099 blank forms at the local IRS office and write out the 1099 by hand).Newer versions of Quickbooks seem to support lots more than what I am doing too.
