If you want to go do a final walk thru, meet your PM and do the closing in person, be sure to budget those travel costs (flight, hotel, car rental) into your purchase costs. 

I plan to by 1 property in year 1, 2 in year 2, 3 in year 3, and so on with a final goal of 10 properties paid in full all generating passive cash flow.

I have a finance background with several years of commercial REI experience and several years of personal REI experience.

Ours (Green Remodeling) was not expecting the city to go through it with such a fine tooth comb.

If it was a fine or violation that could possibly be settledOption is to pay it off - they possibly would accept a payment agreement but once it is sold they will want their $

Also, did you file a final-year 2015 1120S?

When you receive a fine  they will each be assessed a $15 fine.

There is a fine line here, but you get the idea. 

Back then It was definatly a finance 

What aggravates me about this situation is the HOA never communicated anything to me personally about the trash in front of the property until yesterday when I received an email of the incident and a fine and a required meeting with the board.My management team told me the trash from the rehab would be hauled away, not just left in front of the property in one of the two parking spaces.
