And then, we had to deal with questions from subsequent buyers: "I see it was in escrow and fell out, what happened?".  

@Brad Pickett, the 1031 can only be used for the sale and subsequent purchase of investment real estate. 

Or should my tenants make all payments and contract with the LLC A that holds the property and then I subsequently make draws out of there.  2-If i were to raise money under the traditional GP/LP and the GP would be a newly created LLC that I wholly own and I also wanted an equity interest using one of the LPs, should the LP interest be owned by a parent company (Parent Entity LLC) or is it individually myself? 

first tenant is usually free.. its subsequent years.. not many pm's I know release for free most have leasing agents they have to pay a commish too.. which most owners don't realize 

If they are under 20, then involving them in the development and subsequent day-to-day management (well, weekends and school vacations, really, when you are talking about a paintball place) of a Paintball facility would afford them an opportunity to learn how to run a business (and how to delegate and hold both themselves and employees accountable).

We initially signed a contract for asking price on the property and I subsequently asked for $20k break on the price based on the inspection results, which I thought was a fair ask and the seller signed the addendum accordingly.Now the seller is asking me for another $6k to cover costs of heating unit replacements (after further inspections done by the seller as required by the city) since the units are over 50 years old and cannot be brought up to city inspection requirements.

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to affect the legal status of a secondary dwelling built with a lawfully issued permit if the property is subsequently transferred or sold, or if the one-family dwelling or secondary dwelling is subsequently rented or leased.https://library.municode.com/ca/san_jose/codes/code_of_ordinances?

The owner of record -- the one shown as the grantee in the current deed recorded among the land records -- will need to execute the deed transferring the property.So let's say you acquired the property in the name of LLC1 (the owner of record) and subsequently ownership of this particular property/membership interests representing it was transferred to a subsidiary LLC2.LLC1 will be signing the deed.
