Every appraisal I paid for or saw when I was a loan officer had several pictures of each of the properties used as comps, a write up of the way the appraiser determined his opinion of values, all of the metrics of each property and was about 15 pages when you include his certifications and licenses and all the fluff.

Will the investor still be able to obtain a certificate of occupancy since they purchased the owner user building "As Is" with no further build out required?

Qualified service dogs will have a certificate.

Payment of subsequent taxes by certificate holder; separate certificate of purchase by assignment; fee A.

There is a lot of legal oversight that has to be approved to complete a certificate of occupancy for a legal operation- that includes city inspectors, Fire department and others.

Aside from the hideous amount of paperwork you will incur (city, state, and federal tax, license, reporting, and certificate requirements), it will take Herculean efforts to make them operate like fully functional businesses enough to prevent courts from "piercing the corporate veil" if ever sued.

If the number of NOO units is to high you can not get an FHA certification on the property and that knocks out a lot of financing options.

Maybe a simple email asking for a copy of the marriage certificate just for record keeping.
