Some sellers haven't filled tax's since Gerald Ford was president, other do it via receipts in a shoe box, some just make up numbers, some have an accountant, it's literally all over the board as is every aspect of small MFH investments, the only standard is there is no standard.

Credit rose from 500s to 700s (cost $$$s).

What would be your 10 year retirement plan if you were in my shoes? 

So there really isn't a right or wrong path to take.And you'd also have to put yourself in the shoes of a potential acquiring company.  

Questions I'd have if I were in your shoes would be based around how the CAM expenses, management, taxes etc are going to work.
