in some fashion in order to put the expense onto the tenants completely.

Not jewelry, Computers, Guns, iPhone's, Dental Services, ….. just shipping and paper services.Now, one half of the building will be empty in about 40 days, so there will be a totally empty 1000 sq. ft. very nice open room / office available.

@Rick Pozos Sounds like the old fashioned way!

I need to be on the deed in some fashion, because even though we are not getting a mortgage.

From my point of view, I wouldn't care who brought the deal if it's a deal, but someone who's a licensed agent has at a minimum gone through the time, cost and trouble to get licensed and [theoretically] do business in an honest and above-board fashion.

one thing you can do is donate money, goods, or helpthere are thousands of displaced people living in shelters, and then there are the first responders that are helping themthey will need food, water, diapers, towels, etc, etc, etcand in less than 2 weeks is thanksgiving, so they will need help then toothis is tragic, and I hope the town is able to be rebuilt in some fashion

Is that old-fashioned of me?

Keep things simple, do not create any payroll for him and focus on making more money.Now, if he makes $75k net, which is after expenses - then he needs to consider an S-corporation and W2 payroll for himself.Bookkeeping is simple, really: record everything he spends for business in any form that is simple for him: old-fashioned notepad, Excel or Google Sheets if he knows how to use them or apps like Expensify or TaxBot.

They saved it up the old fashioned way, through hard work and grit and all that.If the sales price is $100k, a typical "cash buyer" borrowed the money from Uncle Jeremy two weeks ago.

Enough information in a timely fashion to keep you updated but also allow the Property Manager to effectively run their business without putting you through an unnecessary emotional roller coaster ride.
