Having a "master" accounting software allows you to blend all property-specific info with general business info to see your full financial picture. 

No sure about that as buyers want to see the finished product and showing them before pictures will often not be well received.That's funny, my wife said the exact same thing about showing them the before pictures. 

It’ll cover you in case there are any disputes.I know it’s tough, especially when other tenants are being affected, but it sounds like you’re handling it as calmly and professionally as you can.

The lease I had before, I purchased from RentPrep, and I really like it because it covers so many things.

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

The left over would cover the difference in monthly payment for about 2 years.

Or do they leverage debt, and use the subsidies to cover the equity needed?

Because there are nuances to seller financing, a lot of space would need to be devoted to covering the subject to make sense, and that requires sitting down to a cup of coffee for a long discussion.

There are multiple ways to ensure the tenants cover utility costs when using shared meters. 

The idea is to use this property as an office space, giving me the separation I need from home while providing a place for my assistant to work where I can be more hands-on with them.The business would pay rent for the property, which would cover its expenses.
