@Lacey BedizWe started 7 years ago and went with our first STR in the Outer Banks.

And I believe the other commenter, in whose jurisdiction their advice may work, assumes that you could be the only party with a claim here.

Find the JP court for your jurisdiction....probably near Irving City Hall if I remember correctly.2. 

This way the deed isn't recorded so the bank won't have knowledge of it.

And i would then take those seller carry backs and hypothecate them with my bank at 50% of UPB and use the cash to go buy more timber or Timber lands.. 

Do banks offer a type of loan that will allow us to pay off our investor and finance the remaining repairs?

PIN has excellent Everything reports that bank appraisers do use to assess the value of a property but you're better off working with agents in those markets and getting free current market analysis reports.

whatever you think the IRS will acceptAnd although nobody brings us shoeboxes with receipts anymore, your set of bank statements where your personal expenses are mixed with your business expenses is not helping, either.

The interest rates for private lending will always be higher when compared to a bank.

You'll need to get a good investor friendly CPA, possibly an LLC, bookkeeper, umbrella insurance coverage, separate bank account for rental.
