Don't overpay or massage the numbers just to get into a deal.

Is there any way to massage this such that repairs and cosmetic changes can be made in between the time the renter signs the lease and when they take occupancy therefore allowing me to deduct these expenses?

1 or 2 Earth® massage showerhead(s) to save 40% more energy and water* ?

South facing, gentle slope in the mountains, river, close to city, etc.We intend to raise ~$600K loan ($350 already committed) to complete predevelopment and entitlement and will follow with an equity round.Does anyone have an example of a 2-3 page Executive Summary or Offering Brief that I can model?

IRS tax transcripts are what is verified as being received and turned in by that seller to the IRS.Many people might omit or make up numbers or massage them to get a sale to go through but it's a rare breed who will do it to the IRS.So you are making sure they are not showing you one schedule for DD but have turned something else in completely to the IRS.

Second - that poor, gentle creature by the name of Heather - she can do without the 5 tenants with their freaking problems :)Ladies and gents - it's not all about the money all the time!

It seems this is viable for you since you already have a decent relationship with the guy.Putting this plan formally on the table also allows you to gently broach the topic of 'what if'.
