After she gave me the numbers, I calculated the rehab to be around $16,000 which I was fine with.I saw on the app we use to track expenses that there were small charges for the rehab which I was fine with.

How can I strike a deal where they can still receive some income from the property, but I can purchase the home and make my share and eventually (1-2 years away) own the home and eventually get full profit from this 8-unit property.

Fine.

Legal violations and penalities(fines) even if you have accounting software to track the difference. 

You have received a lot of advice here already. 

@Brice Alef-Torrisi To manage finances for multiple properties, maintain separate bank accounts for each property if held under different LLCs to avoid commingling, which could jeopardize liability protection and complicate tax deductions.If properties are under one LLC, using a single account is fine but requires detailed record-keeping for each property.

With that she can determine, of the cash received how much should be set aside for taxes, then gift the ex-spouse a potion.

And the owner is very responsive to questions or issues (emailed him at night and received a reply within a few hours).  

Budget these carefully into your overall project plan to avoid surprises.Rehab Budget: Ensure that bids are received from multiple contractors and that adequate reserves are made for cost overruns.ARV: Be conservative on your ARV since the appraisal concerns one person’s opinion.

One of its standout features is the ability to directly link your Airbnb account, as well as the bank accounts you use to receive rental income and pay expenses.Another feature I really appreciate is Baselane’s built-in banking option.
