(It is a 3 story building and this garden unit was legalized with the rehab permit & plans under which things are being done)Existing drywall appears to be half inch (so we are off by 1/8th of an inch) and it was never touched so I thought it can be left alone but now they want to cut it and check the thickness.Since they demanded that I tear down the entire ceiling to put 5/8" drywall per code, I suggested if I can keep the Half inch drywall and just add another layer of 5/8" inch which would make it much thicker then what they demanded.

But layering is the objective.

(I'm not considering this the actual official inspection, just another layer of due diligence).I've received 2016 P&L from current PM.

@Joe KernInsurance and LLC provide LAYERS of protection, and actually would be doing differnt things for you. 

I thought about a thin layer of spray foam insulation, but am not sure.

An LLC provides that extra layer of protection.

If a sponsor raises more money that what they needed, then they should return it as a return of capital, not masking it as cash flow. 

I will be taking a flashlight, gloves, drill, hammer, mask, and firearm.

We feel it adds a layer of trust.During the buying process we always advocate for a multi step decision making process with independent vendors, agent, PM company, home inspector, lawyer, lender, all need to sign off on a purchase.After trust the second most important piece is execution.
