The law requires a milestone inspection to be performed every 10 years for each building that is three stories or more in height, beginning at the 30-year mark from the date the certificate of occupancy was issued.

You'll need to provide the lender your Articles of Organization, the executed Operating Agreement, your IRS SS-4 letter showing yoru EIN number, and usually the Certificate of Good Standing (called different things sometimes in different states).

Perhaps in a syndication, tax lien certificate, or non-performing note.
